DC Needle Exchange in the NY Times (twice in 7 days!)

This is a very exciting time at PreventionWorks. (It makes it even harder to be leaving!)

I failed to mention that last week’s article appeared on the *front page* of the NY Times with a great photo of Ron Daniels. The article attracted a lot of attention and as of Friday we had gotten over $4,300 in donations as a response to the article. Over 30 supporters sent in donations from as far away as California and Maine, in amounts ranging from $25 to $1,000. It is really amazing to see this kind of support for a program so close to my heart.

In today’s NY Times, there was a great editorial. I’d just like to clear up one small error in the editorial — we don’t actually turn anyone away. Our problem is that resource constraints mean that we’re not able to serve everyone that could benefit from our services.
