25. You Don't Know What You Don't Know

Kirsten Burkhart has seen her fair share of hardships in her life. What you'll learn about Kirsten in this episode is that she is "bullheaded" and that is a strength that has served her well!

Kirsten is the Executive Director of AIDS Resource and the founder of Amazon Offsets - a non-profit that takes your donations to support Amazon workers in their pay gap and economic instabilities.AIDS Resource is a community-based organization that provides HIV prevention programs, HIV testing, and assistance to those living with or affected by HIV Founded in 1988.

AIDS Resource serves people in 10 counties in north-central Pennsylvania There is still a lot of stigma and misinformation about AIDS and HIV in our country and AIDS Resource is committed to educating, supporting, and sharing resources for those impacted by HIV and AIDS. As more effective treatments have dramatically increased the life expectancy of those living with HIV, the agency’s mission has expanded to include connecting clients with the resources they need to live with HIV.

Kirsten and I both grew up in the 80's when AIDS and HIV were causing massive deaths across the country. News and stories were on TV every day and people dying. Kirsten lost a close friend that forever changed her life plans.

"It was terrifying,” Kirsten said. “The younger generation, they didn't live through any of that. So, they don't really understand the extent to which it was a crisis, because now it really is manageable."
