Hi!
I hope this message finds you and your family well. I have some exciting news to share and I wanted you to be the first to know. Last year I had the incredible pleasure of working at camp4ever. As you may be aware, camp4ever is very special as it caters to the needs of young people who are dealing with the inherent challenges of a parent or close relative who is very ill. This coming summer, I will, IY'H, be working at this magnificent camp once again. I can tell you from personal experience that in the 10 days that these children spend together - having fun, traveling and most importantly, making friends that last a lifetime, the children are not only uplifted, inspired and gain a unique sense of joy that unfortunately had hitherto eluded them but they are motivated to rediscover the "simchas hachaim" in their personal lives. For that, and that alone, this camping adventure is beyond priceless.
Because the price of the travel component of the camp is often exorbitant, I would like to turn to you for your kind assistance in making this a reality, not only for me but for the countless other kids who desperately need this kind of unique experience to help them navigate through very difficult times. I am cognizant of the fact that we all have tremendous expenses, especially at this time of year, when we are sending our own children to camp or planning an annual family vacation to a variety of destinations. I was wondering if it would be possible to ask that you make a donation (whatever amount you can afford) to this one-of-a-kind camp. Not only will you get the satisfaction of knowing that your dollars went to putting a genuine smile on a forlorn child's face, but that you also helped me and there is no doubt that I am very appreciative of that gesture.
Please note that all donations are 100 percent tax deductible as well. You can conveniently make a donation online using your credit card or if you prefer you may make a phone payment or send a check or money order.
The more you send, the number of kids who will have the unique opportunity of having the most memorable summer of their lives will significantly increase. I thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart for the kindness that you do - for your family, your community and all of Klal Yisroel.
Sincerely
Zalman Leib Charloff
