Help Linwood Prepare for Sleepaway Camp

Posted Mar 12, 2022
Thanks to One Simple Wish donors, Linwood is getting to go to a special week of overnight camp with siblings that he has been separated from while in foster care. Matt’s summer camp packing list includes the following wishes, that will help him feel at home both in the cabin and after camp: a sleeping bag, flashlight, portable fan, a stuffed animal (a cool one), comic books and quiet manipulatives for help falling asleep after lights out.

Linwood is 16 years old and lives in ME

Linwood is the youngest of a sibling group, and he has been living in a separate foster home from his siblings, through no fault of his own. He loves goofing off outside with his siblings, and stays in touch with them on the phone through the changes in schools and homes. He is not able to see his brothers for more than brief visits other than at Camp To Belong.

"Thank you so much for your compassionate gift that will allow Linwood to enjoy his overnight cabin experience at summer camp. A clean new warm sleeping bag will keep him comfortable and warm at night. These little touches make a huge difference, and provide a "normal" and good memory."
