This year marked the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day; a time to reflect on how HIV and AIDS affect people worldwide and to celebrate the many lives saved by HIV prevention and treatment programs. It also serves as a reminder that we all must continue to do more — as individuals, organizations and communities, to fight the spread of HIV and to provide care and support to those living with the virus.
Thank you for standing up for the needs of people living with HIV and AIDS here in Sonoma County. Your continued partnership in Face to Face helps to create a community where optimism and empathy can thrive. Together we have built an amazing organization — one that constantly evolves to meet this changing epidemic.
Especially in the face of challenging economic times, we must support each other in choosing hope over fear, and compassion over avoidance. There is nothing that hope (and a lot of hard work) cannot conquer:
- We must continue to have real hope for the prevention of new infections in our community. Our outreach staff goes to Sonoma County schools, clubs, parks, coffee shops and the streets —anywhere we can find people with high-risk behaviors. This work is saving lives.
You make that possible.
- There is hope for people living with HIV/AIDS to live long, productive lives, but this does not just happen on its own. Our staff gives support, training, and encouragement to more than 500 men, women and families, and works hard to get them the care and services they need.
You make that possible.
- While there is now reason for real hope in a national strategy for HIV care and prevention, we are not there yet. And so I have traveled to Sacramento and Washington DC this year to ensure our legislators hear the stories of real-life struggles and successes of our clients.
You made that possible too.
Thank you for supporting our work and our hope. Thank you for continuing to change lives.
Respectfully,
Rick Dean
Executive Director
