This weekend I interviewed my friend Kristie about her experiences with an organization called Camp Kesem and what it means to her and why. Camp Kesem is a non profit organization that provides a week long summer camp to kids who have lost their parents to cancer or whose parents are going through remission currently at no cost to the family. Camp Kesem has shaped her life in so many ways because it was there for her when she needed to feel normal. Her mom was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer many years ago during her pre teens and she was forced to get a full time job at 14 and quit all of the things she loved.
I'm really excited to be doing my project on her because she's such a strong person and cancer is something that has significantly impacted my life as well. It's pretty cool to be able to look at how Camp Kesem has influenced so many great friendships during her life before college and mine now that I'm here.
