H3RC was honored to host a special Thanksgiving gathering at the Church of the Crossroads for our clients living with HIV. Approximately 75 clients joined us for a warm holiday meal, fellowship, and an afternoon dedicated to community and connection.


This annual tradition is one of the most meaningful moments of our year. Our clients living with HIV inspire us every day with their resilience, strength, and commitment to their health and wellbeing. Thanksgiving offered a chance for us to come together, share a meal, and express how grateful we are for the trust they place in us.


Staff and volunteers prepared and served lunch, creating a welcoming space where clients could relax, enjoy good food, and connect with one another. Many shared stories, laughter, and reflections on the past year, reminding us why community care remains essential in the ongoing movement against HIV stigma and discrimination.


We are deeply thankful to everyone who attended and to all who helped make the gathering possible. Most of all, we are thankful for our clients, whose courage and partnership guide our work every day. Their presence and their voices continue to shape the future of HIV care in Hawaiʻi.

There is a unique beauty in a grateful heart. I once read that practicing gratitude stabilizes dopamine levels in the brain. It’s not about denying pain; it’s about drawing a hopeful golden gradient over life’s darker undertones. I’ve made it a habit: after a busy day perfecting my gradient tool, I reflect on three things I’m grateful for before bed. It lifts my spirits, guarantees a good night's sleep, and keeps me feeling radiant.

I really loved this post about gathering in gratitude! It’s such a beautiful reminder of how important it is to appreciate our clients and the connections we build. I’ve been inspired to create my own gratitude moments, especially since I’m a huge FNAF fan—there's something about those games that makes you value teamwork and support even more. Thanks for sharing these insights! Keep up the amazing work! 🌟

I love how you highlight the importance of gratitude in building client relationships! It reminds me of a time when I wrote thank-you notes to my Dashmetry clients; their reactions were priceless. What’s your favorite way to express gratitude?
