I'm really excited that I joined Raise4ever in support of Camp4ever! My goal is to raise $18000 to send children with sick parents to camp.
Our family’s battle with serious illness has made one thing painfully clear: every member of the family, no matter how young, is dramatically impacted. Hospital visits, procedures, side effects, medical crises, and uncertainty about the future wreak havoc on a child’s security. Kids feel confused, anxious, and most of all, different. They attend school knowing that no one else understands what it means to try to complete homework while a parent is in the hospital, or to watch a parent transform physically and emotionally due to treatment.
Camp4ever, an amazing program of Chai4ever, addresses kids’ challenges head-on. This traveling camp provides laughter, fun, and healing in a nurturing environment where parental illness is the norm, not the exception. Each child has their own counselor, who cheers on the camper throughout this turbulent time. Kids meet other kids who share in their triumphs and losses and understand each other without words. Most importantly, the effects of camp last far beyond the summer. The Camp4ever family creates a network of people who support each other every day of the year and ensure that no child ever has to struggle alone.
Camp4ever, paired with the practical, emotional, and financial help that Chai4ever provides, is literally life-saving. we have committed to raising $18,000 to help additional children attend camp this summer and change their lives forever. Camp4ever currently has dozens of campers on the waiting list who are anxiously hoping to hear that they can come to camp. Please contribute; the moments until camp are ticking down! May we soon see the day when families no longer suffer from a serious illness.
