I will try and send you messages this week. Take care and enjoy! Judith

Kelli Riveras (5/01/08 12:13PM): Sarah, you are my hero. I told you I was going to do this with you and I am hoping by next year I will be ready. I have the upmost respect and appreciation for you and your efforts to make a difference. My family is proof of the support that the AIDS Foundation and AIDS Lifecycle really do help. If it wasn't for them, our family would have been in financial detriment. They not only paid for Charlie's medications that were upward of $15,000 per week but paid for Hospital visits, my parents hotel and were incredible support with social workers to fight the fight. I LOVE YOU. CHARLIE LOVES YOU TOO!
