Please support Pediatric AIDS HIV Care

For 20 years, Pediatric AIDS HIV Care (PAHC) has been working with the most vulnerable young people in our community and we plan to be here as long as it is necessary. A recent report cites “…from 2001 to 2006, 56 children, ages 13 or younger, were found to have either HIV or AIDS, and almost all of them were infected at birth.” These are headlines pulled from recent articles written on the report released from the District of Columbia’s HIV/AIDS Administration.

In honor of World AIDS Day, PAHC Executive Director, Khadijah A. Tribble was featured in Metro Weekly and she shares why she remains optimistic even in these difficult times, “I'm hopeful. I couldn't stay in this work if I didn't think that there was a way to make change. The kids teach us that change is always possible”.

During this critical time of capacity building your support is even more vital as we look to meet the needs of these vulnerable children. By joining our Circle of Care you commit to donating just $20 per month. Your kind contribution of $40 or more per month helps us provide the vital mental health therapies that help our little ones express their feelings emotions through a variety of modalities. Increasing your donation to $100 dollars a month allows us to continue providing our young people with a warm, welcoming and safe environment they’ve come to know as their second home.

Please consider joining the Pediatric AIDS HIV Care’s Circle of Care. When you join the Circle of Care, you will help us empower young people to break the stigma barriers and cope with the pervasive silence and shame. We believe these issues are a centripetal force in the increasing infection rates within the District of Columbia. By joining the Circle of Care, you lend your voice to the growing voice of leaders calling for a “Change in Dialogue about HIV/AIDS in the District of Columbia." Your contribution speaks volumes for those who cannot speak for themselves. PAHC cannot provide the safe, warm and welcoming environment to kids living with HIV/AIDS that they have come to expect without your continued support.
