How far must we go, how near must it be, before it touches you, before it touches me (Il adore, Boy George)
I hope non-educated people about HIV/AIDS will stop discriminating against those who suffer. I hope more research will have 100% results for the cure in the very near future. Thoughts and prayers go those families who have lost a loved one and especially to those who are fighting the battle at this moment.
For all those that we’ve lost
The darkness is but a reflection of the light. In seeing such can one grow. Balance comes from 3 sides; the light, the darkness, and last and mostly forgotten: the shadows.
Don’t ever lose hope.
God Bless all those making the effort to make AIDS a thing of the past – it will happen! Happy holidays and peace to all.
One World, One People
For everyone I love.

I realized the impact of AIDS in Africa thanks to Bono & U2 in April 2001 at a concert. B/4 I had no idea how severe the problem was. Now I seize EVERY opportunity to let the world know how desperate the situation is. I’ve changed my senators mind. You can too. May God hear our prayers!
Thank you U2 & Bono
In honor of my twin, Tom. I miss you & love you. Rest in peace.
We need to stop AIDS. That’s all there is to it.
In memory of my father.
All of you make such a difference by doing all that you do to help these people. 🙂
Praying that God will heal people with Aids
I hope this terrible disease will be stopped soon. To many lives have been lost to it.
I would like to thank Bono and all his friends at the African Well Fund for what they are doing for humanity. Bono’s my #1 role model not only for his music but for what he does for people. There is a place in heaven for each and every one of you.
“As you do unto my brothers and sisters you do unto me”
Knowing that thousands die and refusing to add your light to the night is substituting lust of convenience for Love. Thank god for people who prod us all to step beyond our comfortable zone and into the light of action and justice. Maybe together we can light a fire and truly love all of our neighbors. My love and prayers are with all those who battle in this life and death war.
Let’s all pull together and win the fight against AIDS!
only together can we beat this one…here’s one for hope in the future.
We have to win this one.
Let this candle be hope. Let hope be strength.

Stop the Pandemic! In memory of all who suffer, directly and indirectly. If one is not infected one is affected!

With love
It is our conscience that leads us from the safety of doing what is popular and politically correct into doing what is morally right. We sit and through stones until the day our conscience tells us not one of has the right to even through a grain of sand let alone a pebble. Being global citizens, being morally responsible means taking action and taking responsibility for what we do and how we treat others not just those in our own Country.
To those effected godspeed and have faith . My heart to you!!
My humble grattitude to every single person working to beat this.
peace & love
Kate
With love and hope for the future and for the world…
Light the Way to the Cure
Remembering now and always.
To the hope that one day HIV/AIDS will be a thing of that past, this generations black plague, a chapter in our history book. That one day no child will ever lose a parent, a relative, or a friend to AIDS.
And to the activists and world-changers who are working on that dream. It will be.
A touch of light for all who have lost someone
these are our sisters, these are our brothers
keep going
i’m with all of U…2
If it wasn’t for Bono, I would not have known about this great emergency.
in loving memory and hope for the future
with love
Keep Up The Good Fight

“Progress is more plausibly judged by the reduction of deprivation than by the further enrichment of the opulent.” -Amartya Sen
Let us not tire in our fight for progress.
Let there be light.
Here’s for hoping the world continues to open its eyes to the challenge that HIV/AIDS presents.
Let’s all join together and help fight the battle against HIV/AIDS!
Let’s not have our silence give consent to those affected by/infected with HIV/AIDS.
In memory and in hope.
With one voice, in one accord, we cry out! Console and comfort those who fight this every day. May our mourning be turned to laughing, may our dirge be turned to dancing. May this generation live to see this all.
May our leaders have the political will to provide those in such great need with the treatments already available in more developed countries.
Hope.

By Nancy Ledesma, Maine December 1, 2003
to the passion of life and living.
To all who have gone: thank you…because of you, we can cry, rejoice and remember. To all who are here: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” –Numbers 6: 24-26
May the light of these candles be seen until the last case of AIDS has diminished
Hoping for a brighter future for all effected.
This candle is dedicated to Justice Waidner, who works with teams of volunteers to serve AIDS victims in Tulsa, OK. And who is learning to lobby our President and Congress for the money to treat and stop AIDS worldwide.
