Summer Camp experience for Kenyon who recently lost his mom

Posted Jun 19, 2019
Keynon lost his Mom recently and has finally found a placement with his Aunt. Keynon has two younger brothers who he takes care of. A little time away at summer camp, in a natural setting, meeting new people, and just being a kid will help Keynon take a step forward and give him a little hope that things will get better.

Kenyon is 16 years old and lives in CA

Keynon and his two younger brothers lost their Mom about a year ago and have recently been placed with their Aunt. The boys are having a hard time adjusting. Keynon talks about how his Mom was a "gourmet chef" and how he learned to cook from her. He misses his mom very much and is having a tough time adjusting to a new city.
