For more than 35 years, Deoshore Haig has been a champion for children and families impacted by HIV/AIDS in Rhode Island and this year we are proud to honor her with the Hope Harris Award. ❤️

Deoshore is an award-winning leader and a founding force behind the Family AIDS Center for Treatment (FACTS), helping expand HIV prevention, care, and education across the state. As an advocate, trainer, grant author, and educator, she has also shaped the next generation of HIV care professionals through Rhode Island’s Target HIV Case Management Certification Program and HIV Endorsement Specialty Course.

The Hope Harris Award is named in honor of Hope Harris, an AIDS Project Rhode Island board member whose passionate outreach in the African American community helped break down stigma and strengthen the fight against HIV. This award recognizes individuals whose dedication reflects that same spirit of service. Deoshore’s lifelong commitment to this work makes her an extraordinary and deserving honoree.

🎉 Join us at the AIDS Run/Walk for Life on May 2 as we celebrate Deoshore and stand together in the fight against HIV.

Every step helps support prevention, care, and advocacy for people living with and affected by HIV in our community.

We’re honored to see our Director, David Martins, recognized with Family Service of RI's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Award for his leadership and commitment to equity.

Join us in congratulating David Martins, Director of AIDS Project Rhode Island, as the recipient of FSRI’s 6th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Award.

David leads with heart, purpose, and a deep commitment to equity. Through his work at APRI, he has expanded access to compassionate, affirming care for LGBTQ communities and other vulnerable populations. He has also brought people together through meaningful community events, including the Annual AIDS Day Memorial Breakfast and the APRI Run/Walk for Life, while creating opportunities for joy and connection, like organizing outings for APRI clients to experience community beyond services.

We are grateful for David’s leadership and honored to recognize the impact he continues to make across Rhode Island.

As we close out the year, thousands of Rhode Islanders are counting on the services that AIDS Project RI provides — access to free HIV/STI testing, mental health counseling, emergency financial assistance, transportation to medical appointments, and the dignity of a community that will not let them fall through the cracks.

Your gift today is more than generosity.
It is healthcare.
It is stability.
It is survival.

This is the final day to make a tax-deductible donation that directly supports people living with and affected by HIV in our state.

If you believe compassion should be nonnegotiable, please give before midnight.
