From Venus Perez-Easy Access Resource & Author-HIV/AIDS Bk-I'm Still Here

Greetings to all,

I would like to begin by saying, 2007 is going to be a great year. But much work had to be done.

On October 26, 2006 Oprah presented a show which spoke about HIV/AIDS. Present speakers were Magic Johnson, speakers from POZ magazine and 6 women who have HIV/AIDS. The show was excellent, and I concur and I am also trying to send out the same message that was presented on the show, in which I write to you today.

My name is Venus Perez. I am 41 years old and I am diagnosis with AIDS since 1987. I was exposed by an ex-partner who died in 1987. Many people I knew with the disease are no longer alive. 2 other people, and myself are long term survivors of this disease. Just like a person who is going through the stages of death and dying, many HIV/AIDS individuals get stuck in these stages. HIV/AIDS has changed America. For 25 year it has brought out the worst in us at first, but ultimately brought out the best, and transformed the nation. Its mark has affected our history, culture and our souls. I am presently disabled but my health has improved tremendously.

I try to be very active in the community assisting other nonprofit organizations as a Certified HIV Pre & Post Tester and a HIV Support Group Facilitator.

For this reason I opened my own nonprofit organization EASY ACCESS RESOURCE, INC., a nonprofit agency assisting HIV/AIDS infected/affected, working poor, low income individuals and families with community resource needs in crisis situations. The web site is: www.easyaccessresourceinc.org

Easy Access Resource, Inc is nonprofit organization providing navigation to community and social service resources for people with all types of life threatening illnesses as well as individuals and families with special needs.
The purpose of Easy Access Resource, Inc is to provide empowerment to individuals and families in crisis situation and to provide resources to achieve peace of mind for each individual and family.
February 8, 2007-UNSUNG HERO AWARD was awarded to Executor Director Venus Perez by Heart of Florida United Way & The Central Florida AIDS Planning Consortium (CFAP)
In recognition of her valuable contributions in advocating for the needs of People Living with HIV/AIDS, impacting communities within which they live, and exhibiting a commitment to preventing the spread of HIV infection through outreach and education.

In pursuing new goals for 2007 and with the help of Carlos Ayala Director and Founder of HIV-AIDS Help Desk Email: www.HIV-AIDS-Counseling-Online.com and an official Syndication Partner of the Kaiser Family Foundation we are focusing full attention on daily email communications, questions and responses from our databases for individuals needing further information and book circulation.

When individuals and families experience crisis it can be a very overwhelming experience. Easy Access Resource, Inc. envisions an atmosphere of love, understanding and compassion during these hard times and would like to bring hope to people. We encourage each individual and family by helping them understand what is available to them. We promise to help each individual and family. We will show them that today's progress to yesterday's limitations is tomorrow's hope. Through a nurturing environment we empower individuals and families to take charge of their lives and situations and be the best they can be. Easy Access Resource, Inc. offers knowledge to promote understanding and solutions, counseling to heal the mind and spirituality to heal the soul. By making a difference one individual and family at a time we can save a generation.

Unfortunately, due to HIPPA guidelines I am unable to provide the name of the individual in which the book is going to but I can send you a notification of the city and state and date of when the publication is sent.

My reason for my letter is because your organization is always striving to give useful information to the public audience. I have used the information in this book in a recent summer series( Reaching New Horizons Summer Series- Sponsored by Abbott Labs and The PLACE of Comfort) in which, empowered many individuals and families infected and affected with this disease. Normally I would not expose my disease to the world because of the stigma that comes with it, But in 2007 I am asking community members to step up and help us to make a difference with this pandemic. I am only one person, and boy can I use the help.

Unfortunately, it will a long time until a vaccine is found. My concern is, with all the HIV/AIDS information on the internet unfortunately, many people do not have access to a computer or the information available. People will perish for lack of knowledge.

I share this information for the HIV/AIDS community as well as the whole community to sustain for the long haul! This particular community needs so much empowerment and encouragement from a person who believes in what you teach and I would like to be an example to other people so they can benefit from the information in this book and the blessings God has shown me. I would just like to ask if you can just remember me or if you can place the information on your web site, or just pass on the information. Thru Jesus Christ, GOD has revealed to me to expect great things. A calling was place upon me to produce this book in which I had used all my savings to produce. I proceeded to walk in faith. In the future. If this letter gets to you then God wants it to be. I am one person trying to make a difference in this community. If you would like to contact me, my information is below.

About the Book About the Author Excerpts

About the Book
The year is 2006. We have come so far yet we are not quite there. Many lives were lost yet many still live. Many know the means of transmission, yet many neglect to follow it. Many of us live the fast life, looking for excitement, for success. We are constantly searching for that missing part that dwells deep inside, each one of us. For many of us, we are lost, broken, unloved, discriminated, depressed and angry. We are still in denial, shunned by society as lepers were years ago.

We are individuals with HIV/AIDS. We are part of the world, and each one of us is loved by GOD, our creator, no matter who we are, or what disease we may have. We are part of this world, and this society. Our lives have meaning, and each one of us can make a difference. I would like to take you on a journey, where you can experience the history, the struggles, trials and outcomes. Our testimonies, weaknesses, strengths, and our never ending hope for tomorrow.
