God Bless the people who are suffering and the people who are trying to find ways to help.
For all those afraid or confused; for all those who need support and help but have none; for all those who might die tonight because of ignorance of this issue.
For justice and peace to those who suffer, and for a cure — the ultimate justice.
In the time it takes you to read this there will be several people who have lost their battle with AIDS. One day I trust there will be a cure, for now we endure a mournful silence. It may be your sister, brother, mother, or father. For those who have been there, please accept my condolences.
In memory of Uncle Robert…xoxo
Until there’s a Cure…
In loving memory of all those who have lost their lives to AIDS, may we recommit ourselves to doing all that we can to stop the spread of the HIV virus and by taking care of the children left behind by AIDS.May we choose to make a positive difference in our world.
there’s no them, only us.
Hope.
In faith, hope, and love
Showing support to those in need is really important in a day that seems to care little for the well being of indivduals. So I think taking this time to “light” a candle is well worth it.
Let’s be an us for once, instead of a them. La Vie Boem!
giving my support to those who desperately need it.
May God bless those who lost their battle with AIDS, and bless everyone going through it now. Have faith and hope.
This one is for all of you!

For all the friends I’ve lost to this horrible disease: Kent, Stephen, Juan, Kenny, and others too numerous to list.
Most importantly, for the love of my life, Kerry Jenkins, whom we lost on April 17, 1997. His light still shines.

Light, warmth and Love for all those afflicted and affected by AIDS.
We will stand up for those who suffer from this awful disease and continue to fight on their behalf.

Hoping for a brighter future and an enlightened world. Love and light to all.
“Rebel Against Our Own Indifference” God’s Blessings and those who are struggling with this monster and to their familes who suffer long after.
My thoughts and prayers are with AIDS patients, family, and friends. Everyone is effected by this horrible disease in one way or another. Continue to pray for a cure. God bless.
hope for all who have ever come across this illness.
My health class watched a video today about a woman named Alison. She contracted AIDS in the 80s from an older man when she was 16. She died in 1992, before drugs were available to delay the disease. So this candle is in remembrance of her, as well as all of those suffering from this unspeakable disease.
In honour of everybody and anybody who has or may be affected by Aids. Also in honour of their families for being so brave. My only hope is that everbody will continue to raise awareness about Aids and help banish the ignorance from society.
he didn’t tell anyone…until there was no way of avoiding it. i would have understood, but i know he felt no one else would have. i will always love him and look up to him
one heart. one hope. one love.
God help us all.
I support this and more Christians need to raise their heads from the self-based gospel they have been hearing and start the ministry that Jesus called us to.
Prayers for those sick and for their loved ones.
God Bless all those with open hearts & open minds.
it wont go away by us closing our eyes to it.
Love and prayers to all those living with this disease and to their loved ones and their communities. I also pray for a cure.

Hope to all.
I light this candle for my uncle who died of this disease, and also for all those who have it, have had it, and for the start of awareness and the end of prejudice around the world because of it.
Long ago, this month, a group of people thought they only had enough oil to light their world for one night – but a miracle happened and that little amount of oil lasted 8 nights.
I light this candle praying for the miracle that this will light our way into a day where this disease will inflict no more pain and our days and nights always shine bright regardless of geography and preferences.
I light this candle in memory of all those whose lives were cut short from this terrible disease. God and Goddess bless and aid everyone so unfortunate as to be living with it.
May hope spread faster then the disease. We will find a cure if we come together. My love to all those suffering with AIDS and to the families who have already lost someone.
This day will always remind us that we have to care about each other, we have to unite not separate. God Bless all who suffer and may doctors find cure.
May the light that shines from within us all bring comfort, joy and positive change in the world in which we aspire to survive.
For my Brother, David *peace be with you*
Dear Lord, have mercy on those afflicted with AIDS and HIV. Please overwhlem our hearts with a desire to do what we can, with You, to make a difference in the fight against this disease. Bless those who are already doing their part. Help us find a cure.
Amen
It is my hope that we, as a world, can move on to the next chapter and live in an age where it doesn’t matter where one is born in determining whether or not they may have access to life-saving drugs and that it would be an outrage to have a civilization that should have to live on less than a dollar a day. My prayers are with you, Mother Africa.
In memory of my friend, Bryan Taylor. You have been gone from this earth 15 years now, but I still think about you, and miss you.
For Africa, our mother .
For all who have been affected by AIDS. For a cure. For Africa.
For all those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS
With all my heart, I pledge to do more to stop this horrific crisis. Blessings to all who are suffering loss, and especially to the orphaned children.
For Prudence. For little angels. For Sister Anne. For Africa.
So that all the governments on earth will do what they can to quell the spread of this preventable disease.
Thankyou for all your wonderful work
For all those who have gone…and hope for a cure in the near future.
Hope lights lives. Don’t let the apparent darkness lead you astray. Live in the light.

For my friends who are living with HIV. May they stay healthy and live full lives. And for all the mothers around the world with HIV.
May there be a cure in the near future.
For the World and the Children
I pray that the victims and their families and friends find peace and comfort in our Savior Lord Jesus Christ.
hold on to hope…
Hopefully this small light lit by me will bring the world to understand the significance that all of OUR lives are important, and each one of us can make a difference!
Be strong and never loose faith.
God bless all who are suffering as well as their families. May a light shine on Africa, and bring with it the funds to buy the vital medications necessary to end this plague. May it also shine on the educators, who play just as vital a role in bringing the nightmare of HIV to an end, in Africa and worldwide…
I urge everyone today to take a step in fighting HIV/AIDS. Take 5 minutes to either educate yourself about the pandemic, inform someone you love on how to protect themselves or write a letter to you’re local politicans and newspaper about HIV/AIDS .
hope…
This holiday season, please remember there are those in the world who are suffering, struggling and surviving with HIV and AIDS. Light a candle for them.
Always present, never forgotten.
We all have grief and despair, but everyone should take a step back from their own problems and look at the bigger picture. AIDS is a problem that effects many people every year. Lets take the time out to help those struggling with this ongoing problem and take the time to educate our youth on the effects and problems of this desiese. Hope for all of you who are surviving this. You will be in my prayers. Have a happy and wondereful holiday season.
Love, not fear…
Hope to everyone. All bad things MUST come to an end eventually. *For those in harder times*
we are with you.
Hope
we’ll beat this, together, all of us.
God is watching over us. I know they will find a cure one day…God Bless..

For the children who died today because they didn’t have the dollar for the drugs that would have kept them alive
No one should have to die from this disease any more. I pray that the world comes to its senses and does what is necessary to stop this pandemic. We can and we must.
pray for all those with HIV
It amazes me how many people are so uneducated about what AIDs and HIV really are. It amazes me to see the struggle people with it go through every day. I support them.
May people with HIV and their families and friends be blessed with peace, love and health.
May GOD be with those whose lives have been affected by this disease. And may HE comfort the families that have been left behind…

I do not personally know anyone with HIV/AIDS, but I do remember the days Freddie Mercury (Queen) and Liberace died and it literally broke my heart. 🙁 Let the Creator help those who are trying their best to find a cure. This cannot go on. No more heartache. No more grief. My thoughts go to those who are suffering…
.
For the people that are LIVING with AIDS. Hopefully we can find a cure.
My hopes and prayers go out for the masses having to deal with HIV/AIDS.

In memory of my friends Bill(d.1989) and Dwayne(d.1988) I pray for an end to the plague of AIDS in Africa and all of the world. Justice through peace. No peace no justice. No love, no peace nor justice.
I would like to light this candel for the patients I visit everyweek suffering with AIDS and the millions of people around the world who need our support to fight AIDS, I pray for those who have died and those affected by AIDS
Where you live should not decide, whether you live or whether you die. Keep the faith.
Your time will come. We will find a cure.
We will find a cure and until that day comes those effected will be in my thoughts and my prayers.
Peace and love to all.
In honor of those who have died due to HIV/AIDS. Let us all take action to end this devastating pandemic.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were: any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
Peace
In loving support of all my brothers and sisters worldwide, especially in Africa at this time.
Peace and love,
Abraxas
For the lives behind the statistics.
i pray hope and dignity for those who suffer
With love.
In loving memory of those who have lost their lives.
Thoughts and prayers for those who have been affected by this awful disease. God Bless.
HAVE FAITH!

Even though I don’t know anyone personally suffering from this disease, I want to light a candle for all the people that are copning with it today and for all of the millions that have left this world because of it. I light this also for the hope that one day there will be a cure. God bless all.
