My Story
Campfire Circle has made a big impact on my life and the lives of children and families affected by childhood cancer. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at the age of 12 and admitted to SickKids hospital. Campfire Circle staff was always there to cheer me up and put a smile on my face during those tough times. I got to experience the phrase "healing through happiness" first hand by going to summer camp and in-hospital programs.
Now I am a part of the staff at campfire Circle and have the chance to give back to the amazing place that changed my life. What a full circle moment!
The opportunity to just be a kid and go to camp has the ability to change a child's life for the better. By donating you can be the reason a child gets to go to camp and change a life.
Description
Help bring joy and laughter to kids affected by cancer or serious illness
A diagnosis of childhood cancer or serious illness changes life in an instant. For kids and families, their schedule suddenly revolves around medical appointments and hospital stays, with long absences from school. There is no time for simple joys like friendships, birthday parties or sport activities.
Campfire Circle is passionate about helping kids to just be kids, once again. By supporting their in-hospital, community and overnight camp programs, you will help bring joy and laughter to kids and families during their most challenging times, at no cost to them.
As part of the Campfire Circle community, you are helping to create opportunities year-round for kids to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall wellbeing.
More than a thousand kids were diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic—the need is greater now more than ever. Your support ensures that Campfire Circle’s critical camp-inspired programs will reach even more kids and families across Ontario. Your gift makes life-changing experiences possible.
Thank you for helping to build a world where children thrive and families heal.
