Will We Graduate Today?

Today is the last “official” day for our PTOR campaign and we’d LOVE to reach our $5000 goal by midnight.

We’ve received over $3000 from 54 donors and are more than grateful for the support we’ve received from all over the world!

A $10 contribution brings ‘hope’ and ‘purpose’ to our inspired teens who have never experienced such support before.

Thanks for continuing to ‘like’ and ‘share’ in an effort to put us over the top.

An Invitation to Help End the Stigma of HIV/Aids for SA Adolescents

 
HFL has been invited to participate in a Global Giving Accelerator crowdfunding campaign to support our HIV+ adolescents in South Africa. 

These youth have chosen to turn their backs on prejudice, disclose their HIV/AIDS status, live healthy lifestyles and urge their peers to do the same, in effect saving lives. 

For HFL to succeed, we must raise $5,000 between June 12th and June 30th  from 40 DIFFERENT donors.

Can you help us? Watch for our launch on Monday June 12th, LIKE us on fb, and help spread the word.

Thank you!

Coming Soon!


Positive Teens on the Run!

A running group of HIV+ South African adolescents determined “to turn our positive status into a positive inspiration for change and awareness, to help end stigma and discrimination throughout the world.”

HFL is determined to assist them through our GlobalGiving June Accelerator Campaign which begins Monday June 12th and ends Friday June 30th.

We need your support in this pursuit. Will you help us spread the word?

More information is “Coming Soon!”

Generosity From a Netherlands Author

-->


In keeping with the HFL goal of ending the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS, Hijltje Vink, author of Brenda Has a Dragon in Her Blood, generously sent us her remaining French language picture books for a worthy cause.

Having read our blogs (see Blogs 9-18-12; 10-28-12; 9-2-13) an HFL friend requested our help. Thanks to Hijltje’s kindness, he will soon be traveling to Haiti and will distribute the books to needy HIV+ preschoolers.

SA children with HIV/AIDS are often discriminated against and shunned by family members. HFL is intent on helping youth end the stigma associated with this disease so they can live productive lives.

This is another example of ‘Friends helping Friends’ with a worthy cause.

Thank you, Hijltje and Brenda!
