Boy Scout needs help to go to camp

A toxic mold problem forced a family to move out of their house, and they have lost everything, the mother says.

Her 13-year-old son is a Boy Scout who she says is close to earning the Eagle rank, and he would like to go to camp. But the recent problems make it hard for her to afford to send him.

"It has been a very bad year," she says. "Anything would help me."

Sometimes simple things, such as toasting marshmallows and singing songs around the campfire with other children and being around camp counselors who are positive role models, are the memories a child carries with him through his life.
