We currently have 12 children and teens with special needs who applied to Ezer Mizion’s summer camps but don’t have a way to cover the cost. For them and for their parents, Ezer Mizion summer camp creates lifelong memories, as it infuses their challenging lives with sunshine and fun in a safe adapted environment. It also enables their families a well-deserved break, to recharge and refresh.
Children/teens with special needs have retreat days entitlements from the Social Services Ministry which they save up the whole year to pay for camp. But these 12 kids come from the most difficult home situations. Their families have used up all the entitlements just to be able to keep going, long before summer was on the horizon.
Please help Ezer Mizion host these kids for summer camp. A scholarship to cover the missing funds is $800 per child.
We need a total of $9,600 to be able to accommodate all 12 of these kids and give them a great summer.
Sponsor summer camp for a special needs child – all or in part – today!
