What if you were on a fixed income because you were so ill from fighting an illness like AIDS or breast cancer that you couldn t work? What if an extra $600 meant the difference between getting medical treatment and paying the rent or keeping the lights on? In 1982, a group of people came together to help pay the bills of their sick friends for just those reasons. They didn t want their friends to be worrying about losing their homes instead of focusing on recovering their health. In 2002, AIDS Emergency Fund provided nearly 2700 low-income San Franciscans fighting AIDS with over $1.5 million in emergency grants to pay the rent, phone bill medication co-payments or power bills.
