Ability Tree Missions Trip

Hi there! My name is Samantha - as many of you know, I am a mental health therapist, a Special Olympics swim coach for the last several years, and a lover of God. I have been given the opportunity to serve on a missions trip that would give me the ability to combine all of those things that I love and are important to me! This summer, I will be serving as a volunteer camp counselor at Ability Tree - an organization that serves individuals who have special needs along with their families.

Ability Tree was founded in 2010 by missionaries, Joe and Jen Butler, who made it their mission to come alongside families impacted by disability; "when Joe and Jen's son, Micah, was diagnosed with multiple disabilities, they realized the overwhelming need for support of families who are impacted by disability. Driven to make community possible and make Jesus accessible across the U.S., Ability Tree was planted".

I am asking for help in raising money to cover the $500 fee that the camp is per counselor along with compensation for time off (up to an additional $1000). Any additional funds raised beyond that will be donated to the organization in order to help cover a camper/family in need. For more information on the organization, please visit https://www.abilitytree.org/about-us .

Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness. I am excited to go out and use my gifts in a way that combines my love and passion for working with those with special needs and my love for Jesus!
