[Viva] Friends For Life - house has reopened recently!

[Charlene Anderson]

That’s awesome Jenny. I live in Victoria and we have a chapter of VIVA the meetings ebb and flow however slot of good connections have been made between women which is much needed. It is definitely a slow process. Keep up the good work.

Once I moved away, naturally, availing myself of their generous  service and support was not feasible.  However, I still stopped to visit whenever I happened to be in the city, especially for medical/hospital treks.   Does anyone know if I need to be resident in the city to become a member again now that I live on Vancouver Island?

I don't have any resources at all for people living with HIV in my community ,except for the REL8  crew, thank goodness, however it's been hard getting people to come together as there is a lot of stigma and no resources to be able to offer , until now that is, I'm going to try to get some of this going in my town too! Thank you ladies
