Bunk Bed Supplies for Taurae for sleep away camp
Posted Mar 31, 2020
Taurae is excited about an upcoming sleepaway summer camp . He has changed placements since his last Camp To Belong Maine experience and many of his belongings had to be left behind - so we are looking for a wish to come to his rescue for another year. He is excited to see his siblings at the program, which reunites siblings who are separated while in foster care. He has not seen them since last year's Camp To Belong. To help Taurae feel at home and fall asleep, he is asking for a pillow, a flashlight, toiletries, twin sheets, and a twin comforter (or a sleeping bag).
Taurae is 15 years old and lives in ME
Taurae is the older of two brothers, and he has been living in a separate foster home from them, through no fault of his own. He loves cats, music, goofing off outside with his brothers, and staying in touch with old friends on social media even as he changes schools and homes. He is not able to see his brothers for more than brief visits other than at Camp To Belong.

"Dear Taurae, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for funding Taurae's summer camp wish. We have been approving siblings to attend this year's program since early January and in this case we immediately were struck by this camper's excitement about not only reuniting with birth family for an entire week, but also getting to experience "normal" Maine kid activities like swimming - and doing it with supplies that fit in with his peers. We'll work with him to make sure that the purchases suit his preferences, because at the end of camp he'll get to take ALL of his gear back to his foster home so that he can continue to use it after camp. Thank you so much for your generosity. When we are made aware of specific camper needs, one of the things we do is let them know when those needs have been covered, as it's one less thing they need to think about. Thank you for initiating a wonderful conversation about a summer week that Taurae is looking forward to. Sincerely, All of us at Camp To Belong Maine"
