[Viva] Are You Attending AIDS 2018?

[Moyra Fielding]

Wow....exciting to be going to Netherlands!!!  That is so neat and
exciting.....how are you able to do this....are expenses covered for you or
do you have to pay.......I have never been out of Vancouver and only have
dreamed of ever being able to do something like that.....I'm very excited
for you.....have we ever met? Did I meet you at the positive living event a
little bit ago at the coast hotel in Vancouver   and if you don't mind me
asking .....how are you involved with all this?II think I saw body maps on
the walls at oak tree when I was there last year and am curious more about
them..are you still working with people making more or are they the ones
your talking about taking with you and how does someone get involved with
such things.....does Viva meet somewhere sometime or this Watch group? I
have been trying to find a group of H I V ladies who support each other
that is a little closer than Oak tree and I know there is a group that
meets at the Hastings collective once monthly however that group I am
challenged with meeting and I am looking for another for personal
reasons....if there is a chance of another group could you let me know as
well as information of this trip you are taking.....it must be more then
just the mapping....also please I am stuck in the middle with this housing
situation for my mom....it is very sad that a native Vancouverite whom is
74 yrs old cannot afford housing in Vancouver and I have been fortunate to
have gotten her into a shelter 10 blocks from my house and I just pray they
will be able to help her more...I cannot help with anywhere for her to
rent....very sad....if there is a possibility you have any ideas ....please
don"t hesitate to email me ....please and thank you very much....
