Giving Thanks in All Circumstances

For those of us involved in childhood cancer charity work, our requests are many.  We have so very many prayers, so many needs, so many pleas.  We pray for steady hands and wisdom for surgeons and doctors.  We hope for innovation and breakthroughs in medical science.  We beg that scans be clear.  We lift up names of little ones in hopes they will tolerate treatments with less side effects.  We plead comfort and peace in decision making for parents.  We ask for more time and less pain.  In the midst of all this, we pray the biggest prayer of all:  Please God, bring the miracle.  Please, bring the cure.

And as I pray these big prayers, He points me to seek out His people.  We, at Kyle's Kamp, ask a lot of these people.  We reach out to friends and family members, to neighbors and business leaders.  We can be persistent, relentless and perhaps a little annoying. We send letters, texts and emails.  We post on Facebook and Twitter.  We hold lunch strategy sessions and committee meetings. 

We need help.  We need volunteers.  We need money.  We need the people.

And frankly, sometimes all of us get caught up in the needs of the daunting circumstances we find in this work.  But as we move closer to Thanksgiving we are called to give thanks in all circumstances.  While certainly there is much we still want in our fight against childhood cancer, we are even more certain that the victories we have seen this year in our organization prove that there is much we have been given.  While the circumstances of childhood cancer are brutal, we are able to recognize many blessings.  These blessings are the ordinary men, women and children in our community who do extraordinary things by giving generously, abundantly, and graciously for children that are not their own.

Kyle's Kamp would like to thank the following people for their work to help answer the pleas and requests of our organization.

Dr. Zach Casagrande, Northern Virginia Orthodontics

Ron Masci

Westfields Business Owners Association

Vulcan Concrete

The Lombardozzi Family

National Rifle Association

Southwestern Youth Association

Chantilly Youth Association

The Washington Nationals

Northern Virginia Travel Baseball League

Glory Days Grill - Stone Ridge

KK Volunteers

On behalf of all children fighting cancer and their families, Kyle's Kamp would like to wish all of our volunteers and sponsors a very Happy Thanksgiving.  We are enormously grateful for your generous and selfless hearts.

As a cancer patients mom I personally thank each and every one of you that help us on many levels. From inviting us to games or to be a part of the Kyles Kamp tournament to shopping at the Christmas store. Your effects and caring and love do not go unnoticed. From the bottom of my heart I thank you and love you all dearly.
