family was unexpectedly torn away from me. There are numerous memories filling my mind, making missing my mom extremely hard. Thankfully, I have found support and encouragement in friends throughout the past three years and in new family members every day. Comfort Zone Camp has provided me with additional family members that have been one of the best support systems I could ever ask for.

　　While nothing could ever replace my mom, every time I go the Camp I find my camp family grows a little bigger, making it a bit easier for me to deal with my loss. Since starting to volunteer at Comfort Zone Camp I have met so many amazing people. I will never forget meeting my very first friend. Not only did we look alike, but there were many times when staff members would confuse our names. From then on we loved joking around and referring to ourselves as sisters while purposely dressing alike.

　　Every child that comes to the Camp just wants to be loved. They want you to play games with them, laugh with them and comfort them if needed. They want someone to respect their memories, tears, and hopes for the future. We are asked to meet these children where they are and help them discover where they want to go from there. At last, they'll describe the Camp through the word family, or even better, with one word that is incredibly unique to their own experience.
