                                     Spring is Renewal

While it can be easy to get consumed with hurt and urgency, claiming space to reconnect to nature, renew our spirit and build resilience for each day is vital for all of us and for our residents.  Spring is a time of renewal, a time of building a sense of trust and connection. It is also a time for weeding, for pruning, and for grafting to grow more without adding more.

At Maitri, we have added beautiful sliding doors for our outside patios with ADA buttons so our residents in wheelchairs and walkers can easily enter and leave the space.  Three resident rooms have received a complete new fresh coat of paint, and every bathroom has a new exhaust fan.  Chris, our volunteer, has been giving our plants special food, so they are growing rapidly, and new hanging plants have been added to our lush outdoor patio. As the HIV epidemic has been fueled with stigma, discrimination, and ignorance, our residents are experiencing a home with beautiful updates and a safe place to live and not be alone.

Our house is filled today, and together, we have experienced a night at the Oscars, the Chinese New Year, numerous birthdays, and celebrated our founder, Issan Dorsey's birthday - all since the beginning of January.  As you read further to see the stories listed here, I believe you will experience our renewal, our energy, and our resilience to continue our history of compassionate care to all who enter our doors.  For details, please view our   

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to Maitri's life of thirty-one years!  We are keeping our promise that no one should have to die alone with the great help of our dedicated staff and well-trained volunteers. We do count on the generous gifts from folks like you and promise our stewardship of each dollar given. Most importantly, I hope to see you at BLISS on May 6th!  

Here's what we have for you in this issue :  
  
Please consider forwarding this newsletter to a  friend who may not yet know us. As always, thank you so much for your generous support of Maitri's programs benefitting our residents who struggle every day with advanced AIDS.

Sincerely, 
 
Anne E. Gimbel, M.A., LMFT
