Friends In Deed
Friends In Deed is a non-profit organization in New York City, founded in 1991 by Cynthia O'Neal and Mike Nichols as a response to the growing AIDS crisis. The organization was founded to provide support for people with life-threatening illnesses as well as the friends and family of those with such illnesses, and for anyone experiencing grief or bereavement for any reason.
== Philosophy ==
According to Nichols and O'Neal, Friends In Deed's purpose is to promote the idea that the quality of life does not depend on the circumstances.〔Krach, Aaron. "That's What Friends Are For." ''A&U Magazine'', January 2000.〕〔Reynolds, Dale. "A Friend Indeed." ''A&U Magazine'', December 1998.〕 During an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2005, O'Neal said that American culture views illness, dying, and death as a form of failure, and that this causes Americans to be unable to deal with terminal illnesses.〔Cynthia O'Neal, interview by Oprah Winfrey, ''The Oprah Winfrey Show,'' October 17, 2005.〕 In order to help its clients cope with the idea of death, Friends In Deed focuses on being "present-minded": giving people a sense of perspective about their illness, discouraging them from living in a state of rage or negativity.〔"Big Town, Big Heart," ''New York Daily News,'' September 11, 2006.〕〔Staskowski, David. "Projects With Heart." ''Metropolitan Home'', November 1992.〕
