Dear Friends and Family,
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I discovered how large a toll parental illness takes on every member of the family- especially the kids.
Children with a seriously ill parent have it rough. They live with a constant fear of their Mother or Father leaving them. They feel compelled to suddenly act like adults in helping their parents cope. These children need the break that summer camp provides, a support group of kids who understand them, and the chance to laugh, run and play like "normal" children. Their parent's catastrophic illness and the resulting financial distress leaves families unable to afford summer camp, just when it is needed most. To fill this need, Chai4ever created a unique camp program, Camp4ever!, that gives these kids a reprieve from a challenging home situation, restores their spirits and renews their strength to persevere!
Being that two of our sons benefited being campers at Camp4ever! last summer, we can attest firsthand of the unbelievable experience these campers indeed have. A tremendous amount of planning goes into the camp’s success. Handpicked, exceptional and warm staff, a counselor for each child, uplifting ruach, amazing places, hotels, activities and food - infusing each child with a tremendous positive all-around experience, catapulting them from a life of anxiety, confusion and deprivation into a life of exhilaration, self-confidence, sense of understanding, hope and inspiration!
Camp4ever! does not compromise on resources or talent towards creating the most ideal summer experience to meet and surpass the mission of this unique and amazing organization. We see how vital Camp4ever! is for these kids. It is not a luxury, but rather a necessity. It is the ideal antidote for what many of these children and their families are going through.
We are determined to ensure that every child that can benefit from Camp4ever!'s program will have the opportunity to do so. Our objective is to raise $10,000 to enable these children to go to camp and we hope you will help us reach this goal.
