Jina Gonzalez Donations

Jina Gonzalez was born with HIV in 1988 and lost her mother to the disease when she was 11 years old. Over consecutive years as a camper at Camp Sunrise, Jina was able to trust her peers and her counselors and discuss living with HIV. When her friend, Ana Rodriquez, a teenage HIV-educator, passed away, Jina developed the strength and courage to continue Ana’s legacy and speak out in the community. Jina has returned to Camp Sunrise as a counselor, helping other HIV-impacted youth, speaking out about living with HIV to help decrease the stigma of this disease within our society.

Sadly, Jina passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, April 10, 2010.  We are currently accepting donations to help offset the funeral costs.
