Your support can truly make a difference
Because 85 percent of our funding comes from grants
and private donations to provide HIV/AIDS services and research, we rely heavily
on the generosity of individuals, organizations and companies to support our
important work. Because we have
certain government grants and are affiliated with the hospital, these donations
are used solely for program expenses, not departmental overhead (administrative)
expenses. So more money is
available for direct patient care and HIV services.
Here are several opportunities for you to make
a real difference in the lives of our HIV/AIDS affected families.
The "Jenny
Camp
Fund"
The "Jenny Camp
Fund" provides special support for our families, that
includes:
-
CTA and METRA passes

Emergency cab fare to the
hospital

Gas/maintenance for the
van

Box-lunches
for families during
their outpatient visits
-
Emergency housing

Prescriptions and
nutritional supplements not covered by medical insurance

Payment of utilities in
emergency situations
The Jenny Camp Fund
is funded completely through individual and organizational donations, and
greatly improves the quality of life for our patients.
The TARSYA Research
Fund
The TARSYA Research
Fund was established to support the many laboratory and administrative aspects
of providing cutting edge clinical research that aren't always supported by
government or industry sources.
These include:
-
Special laboratory
equipment for HIV-related research
-
Laboratory tissue samples
and testing supplies
-
Research
associates
-
Development of simplified
diagnostic tests for HIV
