Help send hardworking sister to camp

Tuesday, May 20, 1997 | 11:59 a.m.

ELEVEN-year-old Sissy seems much older than she is because she has had to assume duties far beyond those expected of a child her age. She is almost a second mother to her little brother, age 4.

Sissy's mother is in a wheelchair, a victim of a debilitating disease. Her dad works hard to cover the family's needs and medical expenses, which have taken most of the family savings.

Sissy's dad thinks the little girl deserves a break and has applied for financial help to send her to summer camp. She is representative of the kind of child the SUN Camp Fund brings happiness to through a camping experience. We need your help.

Thanks to donors Art Marshall of Marshall Rousso, Caesars Palace, Fred Alexander, Jack and Vivian Woods, Frances Hoffman, D.M. Mezzacappa and Gwen Rahner.
