The goal of this program is to provide a brighter and happier holiday season for those in need. NO/AIDS Task Force encounters large numbers of families and individuals affected by HIV/AIDS every day. Sadly, many individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS bear a tremendous physical, emotional, and financial burden. The holidays make these hardships especially difficult and often result in periods of despair and loneliness. Families and individuals affected by HIV/AIDS are typically on very limited budgets, easily consumed by daily living needs and medical expenses.

Our program enables disadvantaged families and individuals to have some of their wishes come true. In 2007 over 100 of our clients and their families were sponsored through the generous contributions of people like you. Once again we are asking for your support and assistance in accomplishing this goal. There are a number of ways to become involved in the Holiday Wishes Program. Your level of participation is left to your own discretion. Options range from sponsoring an individual or family through a tax-deductible cash donation, food baskets, or to donate gifts listed on the clients’ wish lists. It is also possible for a group of people to sponsor one family or individual, or several families and multiple individuals. Any contribution on your behalf will make this year’s program a success. Your support will be greatly appreciated not only by our staff but also by the men, women and children whose lives will be impacted by the Holiday Wishes Program. If you or anyone you know would be interested in being a sponsor please call 504-821-2601 ext. 292 or email markd@noaidstf.org and have Holiday Wishes in the subject line.
