Testimonials

When I first appeared at Broadway House, things were not so clear.

"My mind and body had become so weak, but my spirit knew sincerely, that
I would come around with gladness and awakened love, to rise from the
doctors, nurses and other staff members that are here.

Reminding my life to see much more clearly, the stress and disease that
wants to take me down, from the gift that could bring me back around,
from faith, hope and care that is not all to myself.

Yet we share our faith, hope and tears that will carry us to what we
must bear, for the love that clings to Broadway House, who will always
be here."

- David C. Downs

"I realize that I have many physical problems, but I deeply appreciate Broadway House, its beauty and peacefulness. I hope that my artistic acumen can somehow contribute to the success of this organization. Broadway House is a Greek Temple to health, an Egyptian monument to Osirus, and really classical great! Thank you."

- Lloyd W. Gold

"There is a beautiful place, staffed by beautiful people, who care for beautiful people, too! We are talking about a little known miracle in Newark, NJ. It's called Broadway House. This house is a long term care facility for people living with HIV/AIDS. This 66 bed facility is unlike any you have ever visited. It offers excellent medical care in an environment that fosters respect between the staff and residents. There are many fun activities and trips to go on, and the food is very good. We also have the opportunity to talk to groups of children and young adults about the dangers of HIV."

- Angelo Ricco

"I was in the hospital...When they wanted to send me here, right away I said "no." I was afraid what it'd be like. They said I could go for thirty days and if I didn't like it, I could sign myself out. And so far it's been six months. The people who work here are very nice and the food is very good. I came in a 80 pounds and now I'm 112. They're here to help you. When I'm home, sometimes I see my medication sitting on the table, and I don't feel like taking it. Here, they come in and give it to you every morning. And they say,"C'mon, Kathy, take your medication. And you take it. It got me in the routine of taking it every day. They get you on your feet. They got me to deal with the virus."

- Kathy Hanlon

"This place has taught me that living with this virus isn't something I have to be ashamed of. I've been living with the virus for sixteen years and it's brought my health back. It's just like being at home. I would recommend it to anybody."
