I still think you're crazy for what you do.
I don't know how you do it, but good on you and thanks for everything.
Thank you, board.
My name is Jerry Cuffee.
Soon to be 74 years old in five days.
And I've been a 38-year long-term survivor with HIV and AIDS.
So more than half my life, I've had HIV.
So I'm speaking about long-term surviving and aging.
Last week, the Department of Aging Services appropriated, and I'm going to use that word gently, appropriated $150,000 towards long-term survivors with HIV who are 50 years and older.
That was taken out of a fund called the Dignity Fund.
That's $3 million.
There are 11,500 people plus living in San Francisco with HIV who are over 50 years old.
If you do the math, that is $13 per person living in San Francisco with HIV that's over 50 years old.
$13.
Do I look like I'm only valued at $13?
Where is the rest of the money?
that can be used for services for HIV and long-term survivors.
Being a long-term survivor means that I have comorbidities, a higher chance of obtaining diabetes, heart attack, kidney disease, and other issues.
These funds would serve to help others like myself
to live the rest of their lives with dignity.
