Forty-four HIV/AIDS patients living
in Bailey-Holt House in New York City’s West Village were forced from their
home after super storm Sandy struck in late October 2012. Scattered since the
storm hit, the patients can finally begin to move back home this week.
Bailey-Holt House CEO Gina Quattrochi declares that electricity was restored a
few days ago for the first time since October 28. She praised the patients,
saying, “They’re doing better than I would have done in this situation.”
Quattrochi laments that Bailey-Holt
House has more than $1 million in expenses to pay; however, because of their
location in the Village, not in Rockaway or the Lower East Side, they are
ineligible to apply for some of the available funding. To alleviate some of
this financial stress, Bailey-Holt House has established an emergency fund.
