My Story…

My daughter Maya was diagnosed with cancer [Neuroblastoma] at the age of 4. Our world as we knew it was turned upside down. We spent countless days, weeks, months in hospitals rooms fighting cancer. Maya was often in isolation due to her low immune system. Ooch volunteers would gown up and come to visit Maya, they would do crafts, sing or just talk. I could see joy in Maya's eyes. We lived to see her smile during those dark days. Later, Maya started to attend Ooch's overnight summer camps. Maya LOVED CAMP. Ooch is staffed with doctors, nurses, and ooch volunteers. Maya knew most of them from her long stays at SickKids hospital. Even though Maya was away at camp, we felt at peace as we knew she was well taken care of. At Ooch, Maya could be herself, she was at home, her home. Maya continues to attend Camp Ooch every summer, she has made great friends, all the other campers like her share one thing in common, they all know what cancer is all about. Thank you!

Description

Help send kids affected by childhood cancer to Camp Ooch!

Camp Oochigeas (Ooch) provides children with and affected by childhood cancer with what they need most – the chance to be kids. Ooch is the only overnight camp in Canada to offer on-site IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions.  Often referred to as the social cure for cancer, we offer programs year-round in Muskoka, at SickKids, and various other cancer centres and cities across Ontario. 

As a registered charity that receives no government funding, Ooch relies exclusively on the generous support of fundraisers, individuals and corporate donors, like you.

Ooch changes the lives of over 1,500 kids affected by childhood cancer every year.  However, 79% of kids with cancer in Ontario still can't go to Camp.  You can help change that!

Cancer changes a child's life.  So does Camp.  And so can you.
