Leona Coakley-Spring is a Redmond resident, gospel singer/songwriter, recording artist, actress, painter, cosmetologist and supporter of All Saints HIV/AIDS Shelter in her native Bahamas.

She will perform gospel and Christmas songs with a Caribbean flair at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5 at the Kirkland Performance Center, 350 Kirkland Ave. All proceeds will go to All Saints HIV/AIDS Shelter in Nassau.

All Saints is the only shelter in the Bahamas that accepts homeless AIDS sufferers and other homeless victims of chronic disease, no questions asked.

Coakley-Spring was born in the Bahamas and took care of her younger sibilings after her mother died.

Now a citizen of the United States, she wants to continue giving to others in desperate need in the Bahamas.
