Bianca's Birthday Wish

   In the words of Winston Churchill, "You make a living by what you get, you make a life by what you give". 
    Please join me in my birthday wish, and donate to help send a child with limb loss to camp this summer. 
                                                                      Much love, Bianca Kajlich

 "Camp is the only place that I have truly felt
                   at home."  Sierra, 2010

    "At camp, I learned how to stand up and 
   embrace my disability entirely. No doctor 
    or parent had helped me accept myself 
    more than the camp had in three days."

Thank you for contributing to a cause that is so near and dear to my heart.  My brother Andre had both of
his legs amputated after being struck by a train in Prague just over seven years ago.  His strength and
determination have inspired me since the day he awoke from a coma to find his life forever changed. Last
year we both attended the Amputee Coalition's Paddy Rossbach Youth Camp as camp counselors.  It was a
profound and life changing experience for both of us. But more importantly, we had a chance to see what
a profound and life changing experience it is for these KIDS. 

With the gift of your donation, you have ensured that a child with limb loss will get to spend a week at a
camp surrounded by kids JUST LIKE THEM.  To relax, and play, and laugh, and dream.  To spend a week
without worrying about being ridiculed or judged.  Many of them are dealing with or have survived
major illnesses and lost a limb or limbs as a result. I mean, these kids blew me away with their courage
and strength.  I attended the camp hoping to share some of my limited knowledge with them, and the
crazy thing is how much they taught me.  I cannot WAIT to get back to camp again this year and see all
of their bright and shining faces.  Thank you from them, and thank you, THANK YOU from me. 

Much love, Bianca Kajlich
