Released 25 July 2008

 

It was a family of six.  A mom a dad and four children three boys and a girl. They are a family of five now. In July of 2006, the distraught father of this once intact family took his own life. The body of the Deceased father was discovered in his very own home by his young children. It was a great loss for the family. A life that was always a struggle became more difficult for the now single mother of four. She did not only have to cope with grief and the pain of loosing her husband and father of her kids but she had to deal with all the expenses. She had to step up to the plate and not only be the mother of this kids but become the bread winner, which was a difficult task. These three boys, who had lost so much could have not afforded their time at camp. Hearing of their situation, WITH YOUR HELP we made it possible for these three special young people to enjoy summer camp this year. Just like this family there is a lot of kids that find them selves in bad situation economically, mentally or physically and we need your help  to give them the opportunity of a life time.
