Friends and Family,

It’s my favorite time of year supporting a cause so close to my heart- CAMP! 💛 This is my sixth year partnering with the Wendt Center for Loss and Healing and my fourth year volunteering at Camp Forget-Me-Not/Camp Erin DC.

This year I am volunteering as Camper Support for the 10-12 year old group. This is in memory of my mom, Ginny Rivera, who passed away when I was 13 years old.

2024 Camp Forget-Me-Not/Camp Erin DC offers free bereavement day camps for youth ages 6-17 who are grieving the death of a significant person in their lives. Campers will enjoy a full day of traditional camp activities and grief focused workshops to help them explore a variety of ways to express themselves while developing skills. All activities are specially designed to help campers express themselves and develop bonds with others.

Attending Camp as an adult and providing support to the campers is one of the most incredible experiences and has been such a big factor in my personal healing. Losing a parent/significant person in your life at such a young age is truly a lifelong grieving and healing process.

The most amazing part about Camp is that it's free of charge to campers and their families. But that's only possible because of generous donors like you!

If you’d like to help me reach my goal, please consider making a donation. Thank you so much for anything that you are able to contribute and for supporting the Wendt Center for Loss and Healing.

I couldn’t do this without you.
