My personal message:

Give the gift of life in this new year and help ensure those living with HIV/AIDS have the resources to LIVE stronger, longer and better lives.

$10 provides a personal hygiene item package for our homeless or lower income members. 

    --Did you know 40% of BLC members are homeless and 75% live       at or below the poverty line?

$50 provides multiple career counseling sessions to help our unemployed members enter the workforce. 

    -- 77% of our new members are unemployed.

$100 provides a computer class for 8 BLC members. 

    -- BLC has a computer lab with high speed internet service for         members. 

$250 provides an educational workshop for 10 members.  

    -- Topics such as Medication Adherence, HIV and Immigration,         and Talking to Our Children about HIV/AIDS address our                 members’ varied concerns. 

$500 provides one weekly lunch and dinner for a member for an entire year.

    -- Last year the BLC served 40,000 meals to 1,500 HIV+                 members.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support the Boston Living Center.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
