Our Story
Esme was diagnosed with leukemia last August when she was four years old. She spends a lot of time at the hospital for lumbar punctures, chemotherapies, and pain management.
Being at the hospital is really hard and often feels scary, and the only thing she looks forward to while she is there is crafts with Campfire Circle. They've helped her connect with things she loves and feels confident doing in the midst of a lot of fear and uncertainty.
Campfire Circle makes Esme's worst days a little better, and we're grateful to everyone who supports their work.
Description
Help deliver healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families.
For over 40 years Campfire Circle has provided play-based experiences through our in-hospital, community, and overnight camps for kids with cancer or serious illness and their families. We empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis.
Now, more than ever, kids with serious illness and their families need moments of joy, connection, and healing.
