While the number of people living with this virus continues to rise, funding for vital
programs and services continues to be challenged. Hope and Help are only a hand away
and Together We Can Remain Strong. The Friends of AIDS Foundation is a volunteer driven
agency with local, as well as national and international reach. We are committed to
enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and empowering people to make
healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV virus by delivering cutting edge programs
and services to individuals regardless of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or
lifestyle.
I established The Friends of AIDS Foundation in 2006 in response to a need for assistance
to those impacted by HIV/AIDS. I witnessed too many people falling between the cracks
and being left behind. I became aware of the incredibly complex stigma tied to this disease.
I saw a complacency building behind the pandemic, budget cuts forcing organizations to
curtail their services, and a lack of compassion from providers. I was always passionate
about helping others and knew that I could make a difference by bringing that passion to
the fight against HIV/AIDS. I began by providing a weekly support group for people living
with HIV where they could explore their feelings and address their concerns in a very loving,
nurturing, non judgmental and safe environment. Today, our agency has grown into a
highly respected organization that serves thousands of people each year. We pride
ourselves in having a "can do" attitude and serving all with a sense of urgency, integrity,
dignity, respect, and compassion.
I believe that every life matters and every contribution counts. My personal interest is to
create a positive impact that will change the future course of this pandemic by helping to
develop healthy futures for communities impacted by HIV/AIDS. It is my goal to help bridge
the gap for those impacted by this disease by delivering innovative programs that enhance
the quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS and cutting edge programs that empower
people to prevent the spread of HIV. I know that we have the power to end this pandemic
and recognize that none of us is as strong as all of us. I invite you to join me in the fight
against this disease.
Please remember that if HIV/AIDS has infected or affected your life, refuse to allow it
to invade your spirit!

This is the 29th year of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and despite the
considerable efforts made by many organizations; the HIV virus still
impacts our communities in many ways. This disease continues to
remain strong and does not discriminate. The HIV/AIDS pandemic is
likely the greatest global health challenge of our lifetime. There are
33 million people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide; thousands are dying
each day due to complications arising from HIV/AIDS; thousands
more becoming newly infected on a daily basis; twenty five percent
of those positive are still unaware of their status; and an alarming
amount of people do not have access to life saving treatments
According to UNAIDS, the HIV/AIDS pandemic is not expected to
plateau until 30-40 years from now.
