¡Hola!

My name is Angel Baten, and I've been living with HIV since 2016. It is with great honor to announce that I am participating in this year's San Francisco AIDS WALK 2022. To be visible is important to me, especially as a young and queer brown person living in San Francisco. As someone who struggled with addiction and homelessness, I didn't think that I could get the help that I needed. However, thanks to the resources that are available for the youth here in San Francisco, I've gained my health and independence back. Part of that meant getting clean and sober and getting connected to the Castro Country Club for support, which is why I want to walk with them this year for the first time in solidarity. In order to do that, I need your help to meet my goal.

Please help me reach my goal by donating at least $5, so we can continue to fight against AIDS. Click “DONATE” to make a difference — your generosity will be much appreciated.

With gratitude,
Ángel
