My Story
The Campfire Circle team has made such a massive difference to Esmé and our family this past year. They have connected us with similar kids and families, and frequently brightened our day with activities like music, crafts, and slime-making at Esmé's bedside during endless hours at hospital, and also time away at Camp with other families going through similar things. Campfire Circle made our time at SickKids much more enjoyable than I could have ever imagined, and gave Esmé much-appreciated distractions in the long days at hospital. The team really took the time to get to know us, and Esmé became a regular attendee at the Campfire Circle craft room at SickKids. It is such a joy that she is out the other side and can now enjoy school and a more normal life, while looking forward to Campfire Circle activities here and there.
I really hope we can raise as much as possible to help other families going through this rollercoaster.
Description
Help deliver healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer or serious illness, it impacts the whole family. Kids miss out on simple childhood joys, household incomes are often cut in half as caregivers take on the full-time responsibility of caring for a sick child, and families struggle to make time for special experiences. When you donate to Campfire Circle you are supporting in-hospital, community and overnight camp programs that create opportunities for children to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. Through play-based experiences, you are helping empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis. With your support, we can continue to offer our programs at no cost to families and grow our circle of care to provide additional play-based experiences across all four paediatric hospitals, and improve our medically supported and accessible overnight camps so that every eligible child can benefit from our innovative and impactful programs. Thank you for helping to build a world where children thrive and families heal. |
