Thank You for Your Amazing Support of Camp SAY! CampSAY News | Page 6

Camp SAY is a gift that you helped give to so many children from families-in-need. $326,000 CAMP SAY TUITION AND TRAVEL UNDERWRITTEN BY GENEROUS SUPPORTERS LIKE YOU 86% OF CAMP FAMILIES RECIEVED FINANCIAL AID A parent sent us an appeal for aid... My son is 10 years old (turning 11 on August 7) and this year was the first time he has really suffered at the hands of bullies in his school who call him stupid and mock him for his stutter. The bullying affects him terribly. I just had a speech IEP meeting at his school and the guidance counselor said he had the worst stutter she ever heard in a child his age, despite 5 years of in-school speech therapy with a wonderful SLP whom we adore. My son is about to start middle school and desperately needs a boost to his confidence and to be around other children with whom he can feel comfortable and accepted. After receiving significantly reduced-cost tuition this mother said… I am completely speechless. Seriously, I don’t know what my family has done to deserve SAY entering our lives but whatever it was we are all so thankful! My son has said a thousand times that his time at Camp SAY was the best experience of his entire life.
