ICE: A Journey in Isolation
"Thank you. You told my story very well."
“This is one of the most moving books I have ever read. I can understand why it took you a while to share it. Thanks for your devotion.” FH.
"Wow! Made my cry, laugh and want to do something. Thanks." MJ.
Since 1989, when I returned to the States from Ireland, I have been involved with many people diagnosed with HIV.
I have been on various care teams, support groups, panels, marches, fundraising events, as well as starting a nonprofit dedicated to giving those who have developed HIV a way to participate in society.
Nothing has been clearer than the desperate loneliness and isolation many people living with HIV/AIDS and Cancer patients face every day of their lives.
Years ago, I began bringing HIV+ speakers into my college classroom to educate students on the disease, its effects, and ways to avoid behavior that would put a person at risk.
It took me quite a while to realize that these speakers were continually sharing stories of loss; loss of friends and family to fear, ignorance, anger, and remorse, leaving them truly on their own to cope with a malady brought on because ‘they trusted someone.’
These are their stories.
Stories full of courage, challenges and hope.
I am proud that I have been able to share their journey...
