"Without financial assistance I wouldn’t be able to put my child through camp. Every year he is excited to come. It’s something he talks about for weeks after. I love watching him look forward and talk about camp every year."

"I appreciate you giving up your time, money, and resources to make this possible for my son. I am a single-income mom, no child support, working full time, and going to school full time. Due to your efforts, I am able to go to work during the day to provide for my son."

"Thank you will never be enough. The opportunity and memories they have help me provide for my child is unmatched!"

"Hello and thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know you know your deeds are appreciated, but it really goes beyond that of my kids. They look forward to camp the whole year, and they make new friends that they stay in touch with them. When they say "Mom, thanks," I never hesitate to tell them who the special people really are. God Bless you!"

"This was the start of an incredible experience that he will continue for the next 10 years. So thank you all for what you do."

"Because of you, my son got to make friends that feel like family. I am working full-time as a wildlife biologist getting to live my dream. And if it weren’t for you, I would have had to give up on my dream or make the choice to leave my child home alone."

"Thank you for your help to take my daughter to a place where she can still learn while there, and I don't have to worry when I'm at work.”

"Thank you! It makes all the difference to my child and family! My child was adopted and suffers many, many challenges so kids make fun of her at school. Being able to attend the YMCA is the happiest time of her year. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It means everything to this child and our entire family."

"Thank you! Current financial conditions have made it difficult to afford important opportunities like day camp, so we were so grateful for the chance to receive aid."
