In the early days of the AIDS epidemic no one knew how to treat this deadly disease, how it was spread or how to remain disease free. Fear of AIDS stopped many usually caring individuals from ofering the kinds of care the the sick truely needed.
Not so of Mother Clara Hale, a resident of Harlem in NYC. Lovingly she took in AIDS infected children or and treated them like they were one of her own. Her generousity extended to drug addicted babies left on her doorstep.
A monument to her contribution to life in Harlem stands proudly near the doorway to her brownstone, marking the home of this modern saint.
