The Bracelet attracted a twenty-eight year old man to our network of supporters.
“I had a former co-worker who has a friend that is positive from a blood transfusion, and she was wearing the bracelet. I asked her about it, and she told me about the [web] site… After checking your site and seeing the great support from so many important and public faces, of course, I had to purchase three bracelets to help support the cause: one for me, the other two for two of my friends. Since that day I have never left my house without that bracelet on. Thanks again for all the great work to bring awareness and to help find a cure for such an epidemic that is hurting people all over the world.”

A high school teacher grieves the plight of a young man who never caught a break in life. His formative years were marked by instability. His sexual orientation attracted ridicule, hostility, and (ultimately) a deadly illness.
“It seems unfair to me that Larry looked for normalcy and ordinary happiness for all of his 36 years, and never got it. He had a real hunger for everyday life, work and friends, and he was always defending against his crazy relatives, dodging and weaving while looking for a decent life. He died alone… The only comfort I can take is that I was always there for him – a mother figure who offered him just a glimpse of the life he could have had.”
