Opportunities to Help!

Ok. There are two organizations that need your help ASAP. A friend of mine is plays a major role in a charity called Camp Kesem (see previous posts). She is also the Volunteer Director for Provo, Utah's chapter of Hospice. After wishing her a happy birthday today, I learned that both of these organizations are in immediate need of help.

First and more urgently is Camp Kessem. As a brief review, Camp Kessem is a camp where children of all ages affected by cancer (whether it is themselves or someone close to them) can go for a week to forget about the intense trials of cancer and just have fun with kids in a similar situation. The camp is completely donation funded and usually occurs in the middle of August, which is just around the corner. The problem is, this year they are short $15,000, and the camp is only a couple months away. So, tell your friends and your friends' friends...and your moms' friends' friends! Anything will help. (I'll post the directions of how to donate as soon as I receive them from my friend).

And now for a more long term commitment: volunteering for Hospice. Hospice is a program that strives to provide the absolute best quality of life for those who have been diagnosed with 6 months or less to live. It is an opportunity to befriend someone that may be friendless and alone in the world, facing their last weeks and months here on earth. It is an incredible experience from which people of all ages can benefit.
