Single mom making sacrifices for camp

Friday, July 2, 1999 | 10:38 a.m.

A single mom says sending her child to camp is worth whatever sacrifice she has to make.

"I'm not sure how much I can give," she writes. "I will have to buy a sleeping bag and other supplies he will need. With all that, I will be able to pay $100 at the most."

It's important to her and for him, the mom says.

"He never wants to do anything. Maybe this will bring him out."

The Sun Camp Fund provides the opportunity for children whose families could not otherwise afford it to go to camp.
