Kenneth Niedermeier and Armando Rubio from 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way have set up a fundraiser to help children who are living with HIV. In the last few episodes of the show, the couple had many wins. Armando's family finally accepted his sexuality, and they even welcomed Kenneth and his daughter into their house. Armando was able to have a much-needed emotional conversation with Armando Sr. Kenny and Armando even got a license so they could get married as a same-sex couple in Mexico. While preparing for their wedding day, Armando is thinking about growing his family with his soon-to-be husband.
The 32-year-old wants to have a child with Kenneth, but he is also open to adopting a kid. The duo recently visited an orphanage for HIV+ children in Mexico to learn more about the adoption process. Before meeting the adorable children, Armando and Kenneth discovered that adoption is a long process. Sometimes, it can take up to four years for the process to be completed. The 58-year-old Florida native Kenneth was emotional around the children. The experience made Kenneth recall the time when "HIV and AIDS went rampant, friends were just dying left and right."
While Armando and Kenneth are discussing whether to have a baby via in vitro fertilization (IVF) or adopt a child, they have begun a new initiative for HIV+ children. The couple posted a bunch of pictures with the kids from the orphanage and started a fundraiser to help them. Armando wrote, "We would like to continue supporting @eunimeportijuana Orphanage by providing medication, food, and needed facility upgrades." He affirmed that all the donations would go to the orphanage. Kenneth remarked, "If anyone has the means to donate even a small amount, your generosity will go far for these beautiful children."
The couple is hopeful that their 90 Day Fiancé family will help the children, who always put smiles on their faces. Armando and Kenneth, who got married in Baja California, are planning to raise $10,000 via GoFundMe, and they have already gotten donations totaling over $3,700. The fans are happy to donate to the orphanage as they want the HIV+ children to live in a healthy and comfortable environment. While replying to a fan, Kenneth revealed that the last adoption from this orphanage happened 14 years ago.
It is amazing that Armando and Kenneth are utilizing their reality TV fame for a good cause. They were already a fan-favorite couple, and now the fans are respecting and loving them even more. Hopefully, the couple's new initiative will help raise awareness and encourage Mexican couples to adopt children who are living with HIV. Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see whether Armando's family attends his wedding with Kenneth, as the couple decides how to grow their family. At the moment, the 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way partners have different opinions, and they are finding it hard to reach a consensus.
