Hope Osceola Aids Service

I tested positive with HIV in Jan 9 2015. I was intentionally infected by an ex partner whom knew his status. I immediately fell in a great depression, quit my job, lost my apartment. I was outraged as to why someone would intentionally do this to me. I reached out to several ASO's in the Orlando metro and never received a phone call back. I then reached out to several friends who were positive and they tried their best to guide me in the correct direction. Believing I was going to die I called my family and told them that I know why I kept getting sick and relieved my status to them. My family was excellent in support. I then turned to my primary care doctor at the Orlando VA Medical Center whom immediately got me into see the Infectious Disease doctor. Every since then I've been on a mission to create an ACTUAL ASO that cares for HIV/AIDS diagnosed people regardless of race, sex, sexuality, disability. I feel most ASO's these days are loosing their meaning and being more focused towards gay groups. HIV is a virus that DOES NOT discriminate against anyone. I have set up a GoFundMe account to raise money for us to get our 501c3 status. If 100 people donate $10 then we will be able to obtain the legal fees for our attorney to do our paperwork and guarantee our 501c3 status. If you have any questions regarding my vision with HOPE Osceola please feel free to contact me. Together we will help with positive results.
