My personal message:

As family and friends of Laura Dickinson, we are celebrating the gift of her life and the 22 years we were blessed to have her.

Laura loved life! Her gentle, loving ways touched those who knew her. Over the past few years, Laura developed a passion to support the HIV victims in Africa. More specifically, she felt the need to reach out to children who are now orphans and children made vulnerable because of the disease.

The United Nations estimates every 14 seconds a child is orphaned due to HIV and AIDS. This means that over 6,000 children everyday join the over 14 million children worldwide who have been orphaned by this disease. Often these children do not have enough to eat, no clean water to drink, no access to proper medical care, they cannot attend school and grow up in an environment of fear and neglect.

Without a loving hand to support and guide them, in many cases they must care for sick and dying family members and are left with the responsibility of raising their younger siblings. Yet, through the work of World Vision, there is hope for the future of these children.

Your donation, in honor of Laura, can make all the difference in the lives of these children.  We want to celebrate Laura's life by changing the lives of these children.

Thank you,

The Family and Friends of Laura Dickinson
