Help a child heal at summer camp!

As summer approaches, many children look forward to sunshine, freedom, and play. But for thousands of vulnerable children across Romania and Ukraine — those healing from trauma, neglect, abuse, or the lasting emotional scars of war — summer can be a painful time.

Even in safe homes, many continue to struggle with anxiety, aggression, withdrawal, or difficulty trusting others. Without the structure of school or familiar routines, those invisible wounds often resurface.

But your gift today can help change that.

With your support, children affected by trauma can get the help they need through therapeutic summer camps — each one uniquely designed to meet the needs of vulnerable children and families in that region. These are more than just summer camps; they are safe, nurturing spaces where children learn to self-regulate, build trust, and experience real joy through faith-based teaching, art therapy, group games, storytelling, and more. Each camp is a thoughtfully designed healing experience, grounded in the proven principles of Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI).

While the children connect with others and begin to heal, their parents and caregivers receive hands-on training — practical tools they can take home to respond to trauma with compassion and deep understanding.

Over the years, these camps have already helped thousands of children make truly remarkable progress in their healing — all in an environment built on connection and trust. As more families witness these transformations and long for this change in their own homes, the demand continues to grow.

In Romania, adoptive families — especially those raising children with disabilities — are asking for this support. In Ukraine, children displaced by war are desperate for safety, stability, and care. Across both countries, caregivers are advocating for tools, guidance, and hope. An estimated 1,500 children are waiting to attend these camps this summer.
Will you give today to help send a vulnerable child to camp — and restore their hope?

Your gift can help change the story for a child who has already endured so much — and remind them that safety, joy, and belonging are possible again.

Thank you for standing with these children and families. Your compassion is part of the healing work God is doing in their lives!
