Hispanic HIV/AIDS program salvaged – Arizona
Tagged: Arizona, Chicano, HIV, Maricopa County, non-profit, outreach
Hispanic non-profit Chicanos Por La Causa Inc. has reversed its decision to pull out of a program that helps people with HIV and AIDS.
The organization will continue to offer the Ryan White CARE program through February 2009 to its clients, who are mostly Latino and among the fastest-growing groups that are contracting the disease.
The turnaround came after Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox and state Rep. Robert Meza, D-Phoenix, promised to raise about $43,000 from private donors to keep the program going. Meza also works in business development and community outreach for the non-profit organization. “*
