Spring Newsletter and Annual Report
2017

Michael & Beth
From the desk of our  
Executive Director

Two points in a person's life that change the world more than any; birth and death.   For most, these days are honored by family and friends in the most appropriate and celebratory ways.  But for some, these are both days of great stress and loneliness.  For those with HIV/AIDS and limited means in San Francisco, there is a place that takes the stress of one's last days away- Maitri.

The HIV epidemic is fueled by stigma, discrimination, and ignorance and continues to impact gay men, trans women, people of color, and the poor disproportionately. Our annual service census shows this well.  For 30 years, Maitri has worked to bring hope to at the end of life and more recently, respite to those whose prognosis is not so bleak. No one should die alone.  And no one with the potential to become whole should be denied this opportunity.

As I begin my service at Maitri, I am grateful to inherit a team of dedicated staff, well trained volunteers, a board that knows what it means to give time, talent and treasure, and a history of compassionate care that inspires all who enter our doors. 

As you will read, our audit is clean, our service targeted, and the difference we make evident in the numbers and stories listed herein.  As we navigate a year of new political realities and a path that is new, we find the support of Issan Dorsey even more relevant, "the (right) path is always right beneath your feet."  For details, please view our  Fiscal Audited Financial
Statements and 990 Tax Form.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to Maitri. Together, we will keep the promise that, no one should have to die alone.  We count on gifts from folks like you and we look forward to your gifts and showing you we are good stewards of each dollar given.  

Sincerely,
 
Michael Sorensen, MPA
Executive Director
