Story

18 years ago I became a founding member/ board member of this incredible journey. The founders, myself and a few other's were all adopted. The idea was what could we give back?!

The Foster Care kids were chosen since adoption was not in most cases likely. This started with 87 kids. Today there are 7 Camp Felix's across the country. Thousands of kids come into these camps. Here they are empowered at a level impossible for me to describe. It really does take a village and ours is a extremely dedicated village to these incredible kids.

It costs $750 to send a child in foster care to Camp Felix for one unforgettable life-changing week. Please donate today and together we can change the life of a child in need! Please join me in helping make a difference.

Much Love-

Therese

About the charity

Felix was founded by Darryl “DMC” McDaniels and casting director, Sheila Jaffe. Both adopted, they were compelled to use their resources and experience to enrich the lives of foster children. Today Felix has served over 16,000 children through Camp Felix and Felix Forward year-round programs.
