Help Kids Go To Camp

Donation protected
The past two summers I've been a counselor in an overnight camp. Around two months ago, being a devoted counselor, I made phone calls to all my campers from the past 2 years to ask them if they are coming back to camp for a 3rd year. To my surprise two of my campers told me "NO, this year I will be in Crown Heights for the summer!" when I asked them why, the reply was MY PARENTS CANT AFFORD IT! I was totally lost for words, here I am on the phone with a 12 year old telling me his parents financial problems. after around 30 seconds of Silence on the phone, I said, oh I understand I'll see if I can speak to the directors to get a discount, goodbye. I have another camper which came last summer for his first time to a lubavicher camp. His family is now coming closer to Lubavitch but is not Lubavitch yet. he is not coming to Camp as of now due to financial issues! I think it is very important to make sure he comes back to a lubavicher camp. That's not it, I have a few more campers and I know of a few more campers in other camps which are going only for one month due to the price. What is a thirteen-year-old meant to be doing in Crown Heights the whole summer?! knowing that all his friends are right now in Camp having fun! It doesn't make a difference which camp, it's a general problem that the camp tuition is outrageous! I know there are a lot of funds and discounts from third parties and from the camp itself but it's still nowhere near affordable for a lot of Crown Heights families never mind shluchim. I know a shliach in Europe that his kids just finished online school for the year, now they will be home with absolutely nothing to do for the next two and a half months! If we can get enough funds for them too, that would be amazing! Pls donate generously and I will give out the money to however many people possible according to how much we fundraise. Thank you very much! I will not write my name so I won't embarrass any of my campers or family. Also, this is pure tzedaka, I will not be taking any money for myself.
