When
I found out I was HIV-positive, I thought my life was over.
But Whitman-Walker Clinic gave me hope. I got counseling and
access to social and legal services and received primary medical
care that improved my health. And, as I face the challenge
of raising my nephew, the Clinic provides the support I need.
Thanks to Whitman-Walker Clinic, I'll see him grow up to be
a fine young man. - Elsie Carter
Seven
years ago, my son tested positive for HIV. He got very sick.
He could no longer work and lost his health insurance. Thank
goodness we found Whitman-Walker Clinic. Their doctors gave
him superior medical care, free AIDS medications, and nutritional
supplements to help him get his strength back. They saved
his life. Now, his condition is stable and he is helping others
who have HIV. I don't know what we would have done without
the Clinic. And I surely don't know what I would have done
without my son. - Agnes Langley
I
know I'm HIV-negative - and Whitman-Walker Clinic is helping
me stay that way. I can depend on the staff and volunteers
at the Clinic and I can be totally honest with them. And,
since the Clinic is so accessible, I can stop in to meet with
a peer counselor whenever I need to talk about my concerns.
With Whitman-Walker Clinic, I"m in better control of
my health.

workplace has a similar campaign, please designate Whitman-Walker
Clinic. Our CFC number is 38871.
Our United Way number is 8004.
You provide
the hope. We provide the care.
Without donations from people
like you, we will not be able to continue to offer critical
services to the most vulnerable among us, our neighbors infected
and affected by HIV and AIDS.
Here are some examples of
what your payroll contribution can do for Whitman-Walker Clinic:
$5.00/week
sponsors a youth outreach program-a group with skyrocketing
infection rates – about how to stop the spread of AIDS.
$10.00/week
buys groceries for a month for 10 clients through our food
bank program.
$25.00/week
pays for 85 HIV tests.
$50.00/week
covers the cost of medical consultation and mental health
counseling for 75 clients.
We've learned our fight
is not over. Many are still sick and far too many are dying.
Although the new drug treatments have shown promise, there
is still no cure for AIDS.
Thank you for your support. Please
remember Whitman-Walker Clinic in your annual charitable giving.
