Boy, 10, needs a break from his family’s problems

Friday, July 27, 2001 | 4:08 a.m.

A 10-year-old boy has been so emotionally affected by his family's problems that he is in the process of leaving the home to stay with his aunt until his parents can sort things out.

He would greatly benefit from camp -- away from the daily strife in his home life -- but it would be too great a financial strain on the family since his father is not working.

He is seeking the Sun Camp Fund's help.

Sometimes simple things, such as toasting marshmallows and singing around the campfire and spending time around camp counselors who are positive role models are the memories that a child will carry with her through the rest of her life.

By joining contributors to the Las Vegas Sun Camp Fund you are making a difference in a child's life.
