AIDS Suck. Let’s end it. That was my idea from the beginning. I’m sixteen years old. I got the idea for the site while laying in bed. Lately, |’ve been giving a “rat’s ass†about the problems in this world. So that night, around twelve o’clock, I hopped out of bed, tired as hell, and registered the domains aidssuck.com and aidssuck.org. I had one idea in mind; let’s raise money and help people around the world, that have to live with AIDS. From the get-go, I knew that I didn’t want to contribute in full to AIDS research. Sure, the scientists, doctors and whoever else is involved in finding a cure do need the funding, but that’s not what’s important to me. What’s important to me is helping the people all around the world, who are living with the disease. That’s why the charity I have chosen to give all of your donations to is The Global Fund (theglobalfund.org). The Global Fund mainly provides care and treatment to those suffering with the disease around the world. Not only do they collect money for AIDS, but also Tuberculosis and Malaria. The official site launch will be on January 1st, 2008. The site will be based on goals. For example, the first goal of the site could be $100. When that $100 is collected, I will donate it, and set a new goal, $250 possibly. Of course, I will eventually stop increasing the goals, because who knows, maybe we will eventually reach a goal that just isn’t able to be done. At that point, I will stop the “goal system†and just take in donations, and donate them all at the end of the month. I also have the idea of merch. Specifically t-shirts. My plan is to get a bunch of my friends to design some cool t-shirts. Then, out of my own pockets, I’ll go print a bunch of these t-shirts off. I have it planned out that If I can get a deal to print shirts for $15, then sell them on the site for $20, I will give the difference to The Global Fund. If you would like to donate to AIDS Suck, in it’s pre-launch form, please head over to www.aidssuck.com and click the “GIVE†button, or simply send a donation to . And that’s what AIDS Suck is all about. I’m just a sixteen year old kid, living in a small town in Canada. I want to help.
Good idea... good on ya! Good to see someone with heart here... and giving to people in need... which part of Canada? I'm on the west coast... Much Respects To You! Lhlalyam
I live in a small town called Steinbach (population around 12,000). It's only about a thirty minute drive to Winnipeg. So I'm always in Winnipeg.
