SEASONS GREETINGS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
I know you're busy these days--we all are! So thank you for stopping by for a moment!
The holidays are growing closer, every day we are one day closer to waking up on that magical Christmas morning, waking up to family and friends, great food, community, and gifts. And as the holidays are growing closer, we are growing closer to each other: parents and kids, siblings, friends, neighbors, communities. We grow closer because it's getting cold outside, but also because we care for each other deeply.
Not all of us are as fortunate. Many of us have to live daily with the struggles and pain of HIV or AIDS--with nowhere, and nobody to turn to for friendship or help. They need a helping hand.
This holiday season I want to be part of that helping hand, but I can't do this by myself. Instead of exchanging meaningless presents, I am asking all my friends and family to please help me achieve my goal of raising $2500 before December 20 2008, all of which goes to the Utah AIDS Foundation. These people work hard in our communities to prevent HIV infection, and they empower people living in the Intermountain region who are affected by or living with HIV or AIDS to live healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Did you know...
- $75 provides 33 hot meals
- $100 provides food shelf service for six families
- $10 provides a client with personal care items for a month
- $50 provides a family with a holiday meal.
Every last bit helps! $1, $5, $10, whatever you can drum up! Encourage everyone you know to pitch in for an extraordinary cause. Please make this holiday season a little brighter for someone living with a chronic disease. I can't do this by myself, but together we can! Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. Your donation is 100% confidential. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. For other ways to help please feel free to contact me at Utahcares@yahoo.com and I'll get you in touch with the right people at the Utah AIDS Foundation.
Many thanks for your help, not only from me, but from the countless people you'll be helping--and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might be able to help us reach this goal too!
Feel free to leave a comment with your donation, I have left the comments field on so everyone can see your comments. I have kept the name field confidential! Any comments on the page or suggestions for improvement would be great, please send to UtahCares@yahoo.com.
