Parents need help to send son to camp

The parents of an 11-year-old boy are trying to make a go of their business. However, they are barely making ends meet, the mother says, and she would like help with paying for camp for her son.

"It would be a great beginning experience into Boy Scouts," she says.

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.
