Giving to L.I.F.E.—The Need

The AIDS pandemic is now in its twenty-first year, and there is no cure in sight in the foreseeable future. According to a recent UNAIDS report, the global AIDS pandemic is "still in its early stages," and nearly 70 million people worldwide will die of AIDS-related causes within the next 20 years unless contributions to help those with HIV/AIDS are stepped up. "We have grossly, grossly underestimated how bad this was going to be," UNAIDS Executive Director Peter Piot said.

For the past eleven years, the L.I.F.E. Program has served over 1400 people with HIV/AIDS through its unique approach of mind/body health education. The underlying premise of the program is "long-term survival can be learned" and this message is continually reinforced throughout the program through compassionate, culturally competent counseling and education.

Through your generous gift to the L.I.F.E. Program we will be able to continue this invaluable work of empowering people with HIV/AIDS to improve the quality of their health, which will boost their immune systems, enhance their adherence to their medical routines, and raise their awareness of behaviors that may put them at risk of further infection and disease progression.

We thank you for your commitment to our work.

Client Testimonials

"My partner died two years ago, and since that time all I thought about was life without him. I was full of anger and pain. I began drinking heavily and forgot about taking my pills. My L.I.F.E. counselor helped me to see that there were possibilities beyond my life with John. Today, I am clean and sober and my viral load is undetectable! I miss John, but I know that I can move forward with my new life."
         — Mario
