TeamBretMichaels.com / LifeRocksFoundation.org Story: Lauren’s positive attitude after returning from diabetes camp
Bret,
I cannot thank you enough. There aren’t enough words to describe the gratitude we
feel toward you for sending our daughter to diabetes camp. In the month before camp, Lauren (9 y o) was in what I call a “dark place about her having diabetes”. Many tears were shred about her denial or rejection of T1. She was diagnosed at 3 1/2 years old. She is in a school with no other T1’s . 360 days a year she stands out. The 5 days at Camp she fits in and is just like everyone else.
Lauren came home from camp, energized, refreshed, feeling GREAT about having T1.
Being surrounded with other children “just like her” brings new life to her soul. The experience of diabetes camp is a lifetime of joy and belonging. Thank you.
Thank you for putting life back in my daughters eyes.
Sincerely,
Laura Kitchen
