Hogar de la Esperanza in San Jose, Costa Rica, the facility we will partner with starting December 2017 to meet the needs of HIV & AIDS patients in Costa Rica

Who: Ingrid Anne Stavrica, LoveAIDS founder, Executive Director and Operations Manager, who has continued working with LoveAIDS behind the scenes, preparing the organization for upcoming work, once her pre-medical studies started again in July 2018. 
 
What work is being done behind the scenes:  For as many service hours are put in with the patients at the facilities, there is just as much administrative work that needs to be done and more when we are away. Yes, we receive specialized volunteers help for various operations tasks we need to accomplish. Still, most of the operations work, including the writing of training manuals, reports, bookkeeping, donation receipts, correspondence letters, presentations, research regarding global health updates, website managment and updating, tax filings, donor education, further partnership-development with the facilities we serve and the correspondence implied, meeting further licensure and compliance requirements in the country we serve, and more - all of this needs to continue getting done and has been getting done by our Director. As she is also a full-time pre-medical student and has financial obligations, she is needing to raise some supplement support to assist her subsistence stipend coming from generous donors to help meet her minimum survival needs. 
LoveAIDS also has operating expenses including payroll service costs, banking & financial services costs, expenses for small resources used including training manuals for volunteers and best practices for nongovernmental organizations, Microsoft platform costs, website hosting, small marketing costs, office supplies, correspondence costs, among numerous other costs that come up with running a small global health organization. An experienced operations manager can decipher we operate on a very lean and sacrifical budget, and we are very grateful for your generous partnership.
