Carolyn
For several years, Carolyn, already sick with HIV, was homeless and living on the streets with her cats. The WHP receptionist met her on the street and recruited her to come to the clinic. Carolyn obtained stable and comfortable housing due to the intervention of the Program's case manager. Unfortunately, her health declined. Carolyn died in 2006 at Maitri Hospice surrounded by her family, friends, and stuffed animals. We were all so sad to lose Carolyn, but feel great satisfaction in knowing that our help allowed her to get off the streets, obtain housing, and eventually die in a dignified and comfortable way. - Watch my video
