"Aliveness has been a support in healthcare, both mental and physical and has given me a place to join a community and further my leadership skills.
My life is healthier, less scary, and highly empowered because of The Aliveness Project."

A Community of Friends
"I volunteer to honor my friend Marc, who died 20 years ago from complications related to AIDS. Volunteering has given me a community and I was welcomed from the very beginning.

- Peggy
