“Every Name Has a Story”: Honoring Children Lost to AIDS

Friends of The Quilt envisions a future where the AIDS Memorial Quilt serves as a powerful symbol of remembrance, compassion, and unity. Our vision is to support and expand the impact of this memorial, ensuring it becomes a cornerstone for community-driven healthcare and awareness. We aim to weave a tapestry of support that extends beyond the quilt, embracing those affected by HIV/AIDS and creating a world where commemoration and care go hand in hand.

Friends of The Quilt is guided by three essential pillars:

  • Education: Fostering awareness and understanding through powerful and impactful initiatives.
  • Prevention: Implementing proactive measures to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS.
  • Eradication: Striving for a future where the quilt not only symbolizes the end of AIDS/HIV but also inspires a collective commitment to eliminate the stigma associated with the disease.

Friends of The Quilt stands as a tribute, advocating for empathy, dissolving stigma, and making comprehensive support a cornerstone in the global fight against this relentless epidemic.
