No One Positive Left Behind

The Families Living with AIDS Care Center is located in the rural city of Hemet Calif. I am Curtis Smith the Founder and a 38 year Survivor of HIV/AIDS along witn my family. We have lived in this rural region for 30 years. And in 2001 I became deathly ill and had to stop working to go on Social Security. In that process I could not find resources for me and my family that addressed our unique health challenges. With That being said, I had a Spiritual Epiphany that we were not alone and to become the change I wanted to see in my community and began reaching out to those living with HIV and saw such a profound need thus founded this Non-Profit. For 16 years I have been providing out of my own resources and thankfully some donations but not enough for sustainability. We serve the population of People Living with HIV that include Families and Individuals of the following communities: LGBTQ, Trans, Aging, Youth, Recently Incarcerated, Women and the list goes on as all walks of life are impacted by this disease. Along with Prevention in this large Rural Region of Mid Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
