Caught in North Carolina

Over the weekend, Bach was spotted near her home in North Carolina. In a rather unconventional appearance, she seemed to be barefoot and struggling to manage multiple items, including a large water bottle.

What raised eyebrows, even more, was her apparent baby bump. Bach was accompanied by her two adopted children, and the trio was seen leaving a beauty supply store.

A Missionary’s Journey

Renee Bach embarked on her missionary work in 2007, initially spending nine months in Uganda volunteering at an orphanage. This experience ignited her passion for helping others and led her to return to Uganda after a brief period in her native Virginia, where she established her charity, Serving His Children.

Speaking about her calling, Bach told NPR in 2019, “It was a very, very profound feeling and experience. It’s kind of hard to even describe in words. Like there was something that I was supposed to do.”

Controversial Actions

While in Uganda, Bach primarily focused on providing hot meals to children. However, her path took a controversial turn when she was asked to assist with malnourished children by a staff member at a local children’s hospital.

Despite lacking medical training and operating out of a non-medical facility, Bach transformed her nutrition center into a space for malnourished children and their mothers.

Jackie Kramlich, a registered nurse from North Dakota, volunteered at Bach’s center and was alarmed to discover that many of the children suffered from severe illnesses, including HIV. Kramlich even observed Bach performing medical procedures, despite her lack of a medical license.

In her blog, Bach documented her actions, writing, “I hooked the baby up to oxygen and got to work. Took her temperature, started an IV, checked her blood sugar, tested for malaria, and looked at her HB count. I was attempting to diagnose the many problems that could potentially be at hand. Got it: Malaria: positive. H.B. 3.2. … a big problem … most likely fatal. … She needed a blood transfusion. And fast.”

Legal Consequences

Bach later admitted to NPR that she performed some procedures without a medical professional by her side but claimed it was always at the request and under the direction of a medical professional.

Jackie Kramlich left her volunteer mission four months into a year-long commitment, citing her fury over Bach’s actions.

During the years when Bach ran the center, at least 105 children died under David Walliams the charity’s care. The center was eventually shut down in 2015. Bach faced legal action, including lawsuits from two individuals whose children died under her care, but she reached a settlement with them in 2020, according to NPR.

As the premiere of the documentary approaches, the pregnancy rumors swirling around Renee Bach have added another layer of intrigue to her already controversial story.
