A New Thread from the Talk About Providing Funding for Camp...What About for Elder Care?!

on Thu, 05/18/2023 - 01:32

In response to someone saying they didn't understand what I was discussing in the last two posts, I offered the following. Maybe It's Not About Camp but About Elder Care (and child care) that is needed but is not well-understood. Those are the Elephants In The Room! So here is that response...bear with me and one another as possible..

But here's another response I gave when someone said to find a camp I could donate to and not to donate to people directly even if seeming honest and so forth...

Thanks, Kate. That sounds nice but this certificate is one I purchased a couple years back.

Drawbacks to talking Things Over on FB or a Public Forum, But Some Pluses Too!

Regarding the points about offering a partial scholarship or barter for a camp certificate and 'finding the right youth to attend', there were many negative comments about raising the topic publicly. Some said it was 'just too confusing to think about.' It got their heads spinning and it seemed over the top complicated. I had raised the idea of having a tag sale to raise funds or asked people to donate items etc.

That came up with one person saying they'd do that.

Once Upon A Time A Youth Was Invited to Go To Camp....or One Going Was Partly Sponsored by Surprise!

Once upon a time there was a person trying to create community and find a family that wanted their child to go to camp… and their child who wanted & could handle doing that in The Berkshires in late June or a July 2023 for 2 consecutive weeks 9am to 3 pm with a farm, crafts, riverside theme with nice kids and counselors..
After six months of many almost matches ( and details that needed
ironing out which took about 20 hours and much patience on everyone’s part) many people have said to ‘give up on getting others to join in the effort of helping afford the cost through barters or donations…)

First things first....That means many things to different people. I want to ask for 'prayers and healing' and encourage everyone to picture themselves and all in their families and circles as well and feeling good about their path, meeting friends to help do things and stay strong. Then the burdens and 'dis-ease' can slip away and energetically we are all filled with light and goodness.

Thanks for sharing in this moment and 'allowing the flow and connection with all that is nurturing to flow in you and your networks...for a few moments, minutes, as you enjoy time outdoors and look up to see

A 'Big fish/Little fish mural in NYC) popped up on my FB memory so I shared that and this post with my friends... and brings lots to mind for me..how about for you? It's my 60th Birthday today, May 14th, 2023--and for fun especially on this Mother's Day let me share my birthday with you and remember the gift of life we've each been given...and hope our mother's (and fathers and caregivers) are at peace with how that came about and the effort given by many to help raise (or rear) each and everyone of us.

A couple of stories about my beginning days as part of a large family are some of the first
