Andy Velez

For well over 30 years and to this day at 79 years old, Andy Velez has fought to make this a better world. He has fought on behalf of LGBTQ rights, to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic and to achieve healthcare access for all. I have borne witness to Andy’s tireless work on behalf of our community since 1991. During this time, he’s always put his personal concerns second and the concerns of his friends and community first. Anyone who knows Andy also knows this description to be a gross underrepresentation of his life-long accomplishments but there simply isn’t enough space here to document all that Andy has done for us.  Andy is now dealing with some health issues that not only increase his expenses but also make it harder to generate income to cover the cost of living. I hope that we can show him our appreciation with a gift of any amount.  Your support will permit Andy to continue his vital work.
