- AutismJonathan is 13 years old, and he has Autism Spectrum Disorder. Having positive and exciting camp experiences is so helpful for Jonathan. It helps him feel less “different†and more like everyone else. He is building memories that will last his whole life. – Tina, Jonathan’s mom.
- Mental HealthI’m thankful for my friendships. I wrote a post about this recently but truly, I can’t stress this enough. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of this year are my friends, especially the virtual ones. My friends are spread far and wide, and this year I strengthened so many connections and found routines in the day-to-day that really helped with my mental health. I had monthly movie nights with friends. I had virtual coffee dates on Saturday mornings. I had SharePlay sessions with a friend every time an album came out by an artist that we were both crazy for. These small, seemingly insignificant moments got me through some really hard times, simply because they were things that I was able to look forward to.
