Charities

Our original mission was simple; people with HIV/AIDS deserve to live and die with dignity. Since 1983, advances in treatment have allowed us to focus on how our clients will LIVE RATHER THAN ON HOW THEY WILL DIE. We surround our clients with services that encourage good health, self-sufficiency and a greatly improved quality of life. Read Bailey House's thank you letter to NYGPL.
