New Clothes for Aby to wear to Sleep Away Camp

Posted Jun 24, 2019
Aby is attending a special summer camp program in August, which will allow her to see a sibling she has been separated from while in foster care. She does not have swimming layers, and is also missing some essentials for chilly evenings like sweatpants, a windbreaker, and closed toed shoes. This gift will help her be warm, comfortable, and clean - and leave her more prepared for similar clothing needs that will arise when the school year starts and seasons change.

Aby is 15 years old and lives in ME

Aby is a witty, talented teenage girl. Some of her happiest memories are with her sibling. Unfortunately, she has been living in a separate home from her sibling since a foster placement change, but this summer she is looking forward to being reunited with her sibling at Camp To Belong Maine.

Aby receives the gift from Camp to Belong Maine!

"""Dear awesome person, thank you so much for granting this wish for Aby! Our volunteer team is meeting with she and her siblings this month to prepare for the camp week. We'll be talking about what every day will look like, and will also review a packing list. If she doesn't own something on the list, our staff will quietly note color preferences, sizing, etc. and purchase the missing items (a sleeping bag, a bathing suit, etc) and have them waiting for her on her bunk bed when she arrives. Part of the camp experience is lots of photo taking, so that she and her siblings can make and take home albums as an end-of-camp activity. While most of the photos aren't publicly shareable due to privacy, please feel free to find Camp To Belong Maine on Facebook after August because we will share the photos that we can, on our Facebook page!"""
