“I had to write to thank you for the four most incredible days I've ever spent, and for the scholarship. The words ‘Thank You’ don't even come close to expressing my gratitude.”
Every year, many people living with HIV/AIDS who have limited financial means attend our retreats on scholarship. Our “Miracle Club” pledge program offers you the opportunity to provide scholarship assistance to these deserving individuals.
Your tax-deductible gift of $125 will cover all tuition and lodging expenses for one individual.
What People Say About the AM&M Retreat…
- “I came here with AIDS and self-pity. I am leaving with life and self-love.”
- “The most wonderful four-day experience given to me in my relationship with AIDS so far.”
- “The impact of the retreat on the quality of my life … is inestimable. Today I have more hope, greater positivity toward myself and my doctor, greater spiritual understanding of myself, and greater freedom.”
- “For the first time in over two years my fear as an HIV+ was reduced to manageable levels and is no longer the central focus of my life.”
- “The AM&M retreat was the first opportunity since I've been living with HIV to openly share my emotions of grief, sorrow, guilt, joy, and deep love with others feeling much the same as I. I realized that my experience (what others may see as a terminal disease) could be an opportunity of a lifetime that very few people ever have … to help them grow into better human beings than might have ever been possible otherwise.”
- “I work with inmates of the Missouri prison system who have the virus. They are often without hope and have no idea that there can be a caring and loving community outside. This conference allows me to bring to them the best thinking in what is happening medically and in coordination with other disciplines … In addition it helps me pick myself up emotionally and spiritually.”
- “I am grateful beyond measure for all the bits and pieces I received.”
- “… a beautiful experience I will always treasure. It provided me so very much growth, both personally and professionally. We are starting a support group at the prison, finally.”
- “That I am not in this alone and that there are people who care. These retreats are great-they bring us together as a community so we can learn and share. ”
- “This retreat has helped me to realize that I want to work harder to reach more people in my town to tell them how to live more productive lives. I will pass my knowledge on.”
- “AIDS, Medicine & Miracles gives participants strength and support for bettering their lives that is unavailable anywhere else in HIV/AIDS programs.”
