Levi Rhoades is fundraising
Support the Just Footprints Foundation
Hi everyone! My name is Levi Rhoades, and I’m raising money for a cause that means a lot to me.

This summer, my brother Wyatt and I are joining Camp Footprints, a program run by the Just Footprints Foundation, as they expand their mission to support the siblings of children facing serious illnesses like cancer and HIV. While these camps have long served children living with life-threatening conditions, this new initiative gives their siblings a chance to experience healing, joy, and community—something they often miss while supporting their families through hardship.

We’ll be working hands-on in these camps, helping to create powerful moments of adventure and connection.

100% of what we raise goes directly to the kids—funding everything from art supplies and meals to medical support and transportation. You're not funding our trip—you're helping make magic possible for children who need it most.

Please consider donating to this incredible cause. Every dollar makes a difference. If you can't donate at this time I totally understand, please consider sharing this fundraiser as that's really helpful towards reaching our goal.

P.S. Thank you to Climb for a Child for being our US based charity sponsor, all funds will be transferred to Just Footprints after the fundraiser.

Just Footprints Foundation - Family Weekend
Hi, this is Levi Rhoades and Will Battle-McDonald. This October, we will be traveling to South Africa to volunteer as camp counselors with the Just Footprints Foundation (JFF), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children in South Africa. 100% of the money raised here will go to JFF, and we would like to thank Ed Dean and the Climb for a Child Foundation for accepting donations on behalf of JFF.

Just Footprints Foundation offers free camp and recreational experiences to children with serious illnesses, life challenges, and disabilities. Their mission is to empower these children to reach beyond the limitations of their circumstances by providing them with fun, purposeful, and transformative experiences.

This fundraiser will go towards JFF's Family Weekend Program, which enables the parents and siblings of the campers to join them at camp. These weekends are an opportunity for the children and their families to participate in camp activities together, offering a unique and special way for them to bond, grow, and play.

Every donation will help JFF continue to make these experiences possible, and we are deeply thankful to everyone who helps us support this incredible cause!

More information on why you should contribute to Just Footprints:

The Just Footprints Foundation (JFF) is a registered Non-Profit Organization, a Public Benefit Organization with Section 18A status and a Level 1 BEE Contributor.

The Just Footprints Foundation was founded in 2008 by Leone Jooste to meet the needs of children with serious life challenges such as childhood cancer, and HIV. Just Footprints provides a week-long camping experience with both recreational and educational experiences uniquely catered to the needs of children with disabilities.

To date, Just Footprints has served over 4,400 campers, and established camps in 6 different regions of South Africa.

Just Footprints also follows children beyond camp and through their educational careers and provides support in the form of school supplies, counseling, and events such as the one you will be funding, parents weekend.

In 2017, Levi raised a grant through the Duke Engage and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to visit Camp Footprints, and assist with their inclusion into the Serious Fun Network. Levi has since stayed involved with Just Footprints and has previously raised funding for their 2021 Back 2 School initiative.

Levi Rhoades is fundraising
Camp Footprints Back2School Fundraiser

Hi this is Levi Rhoades. I am a graduate from Duke University and visited South Africa as part of the DukeEngage Exchange Program during the 2017 summer vacation volunteering with Just Footprints Foundation as a camp counselor. Their ‘Camp Footprints’ program offers life-changing, memory-making experiences that help children whose young lives have been interrupted by serious illnesses such as cancer and HIV/Aids as well disabilities to reclaim their childhood, and restore hope for the future.

Due to the Covid19 pandemic, so many children’s lives have been affected and disrupted, so I reached out to the team at Camp Footprints and they shared with me that camps could not take place this year due to Covid19. I'd like to support Camp Footprints to ensure that the children can return to school with items they need to feel protected and safe at school.

Camp Footprints has ‘Back2SchoolBags’ which they would like fill with essential items (see the collage of products for the bag). The cost of two ‘Back2School Bags’ is $50 and I want to help Camp Footprints ensure they can fill and distribute the bags for all 500 children who were going to be joining them as campers at the 10 scheduled camps during the year. With your help I know we can make this a reality.

I will start by donating the first $50 and here is my ‘Back2SchoolBag’ personal invitation to you.

Please donate $50 and encourage 4 of your friends, family, work colleagues to donate $50. Donations are 100% tax-deductible.

I would like to thank Ed Dean for offering his Climb for a Child Inc organization to accept donations on behalf of Camp Footprints. www.climb4achild.org

Please support my GoFundMe campaign and make a difference in the lives of these Camp Footprints young campers. www.justfootprints.org.za
