Post #24:
Our mission talked so much about persons living with AIDS "staying productive"; it was essential, in part, to beating the odds. I would be departing David's House, heading west, but I will show you ways two residents of David's House are occupying their time. (Each picture has more details.)

Picture # 043

His name is Nerean, and like many, he lost his job when getting sick. He set up a car-wash on the back parking lot of David's House of Compassion. It gave him something productive to do on these summer days, and he donated most of the earnings, back to the house. It gave them a slush fund for things like cable TV and snacks. (Picture from June 22, 1995)

Nancy K. Sorensen I loved that you never wavered or lost hope.

Picture #044

Chico Caldron lost not only a job, but six weeks before meeting him, he lost his spouse. Yet, he stayed productive, helping with chores around the house, assisting with Nerean's Car wash; and he was writing poetry, and short stores. This poem speaks for itself. (Picture and Poem from June, 1995)
