Summer camp for Hope

Hope is a 15 year old girl who is outgoing and loves hugs and family time. Hope has cerebral palsy, is a quadriplegic and has many health concerns. Her health can sometimes alienate her socially especially during the summer months when she is unable to attend summer school. 

Her family approached the Love Fund for assistance with her favorite summertime activity - attending Camp Barnabas. The Camp provides the medical support she needs while also giving her a sense of community among campers with similar health struggles. With these peers, she can be her true self. Hope also will enjoy numerous outdoor activities like other teenagers. She thrives on the camp friendships, the encouragement from staff, and the opportunities to try new things.

Thanks to Love Fund supporters, like you, Hope will be found swimming, fishing, canoeing, attending masquerade balls and more for one week this summer!

“When we asked Hope if she would be willing to attend camp again, she was ecstatic and could not stop smiling and whaling her arm about. She could not wipe the biggest smile off her face!”
