QUOTE

“This summer, a bright and spirited 6-year old girl named Lily is getting a chance to just be a kid – something that hasn’t come easy for her. 

After losing her mother unexpectedly last year, Lily and her father found themselves facing unimaginable grief and financial hardship. With nowhere else to turn, they moved into a local homeless shelter. Her father, doing everything he can to provide stability, was determined to give Lily the chance to experience joy, play, and friendship like any other child. 

But summer camp – something so ordinary for many kids – felt completely out of reach. 

Thanks to generous donors and our community partners, Lily received a scholarship to attend summer camp. For the first time in a long time, she’s surrounded by laughter, nature, and new friends. She’s painting, swimming, singing songs – and healing.”
