Hey y'all! My name is Mogu Mogu and I am the Executive Director at Camp Kaleidoscope this year!
Camp Kaleidoscope is registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. We are a community driven by passionate college student leaders that supports children who have or had a parent with cancer. We will create a free, week-long sleep away camp and provide year-round support for these children.
I joined Kaleidoscope because my mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when I was 14. When I was younger, I grew up quickly and became a caregiver for my mom. I always wanted a space to talk about the adversities and anxieties that come along with having a parent with cancer.
As I reflect on my own experience with my mom's cancer, I will ensure that Camp Kaleidoscope is a place that can provide respite for these children. I hope that our campers can build strong relationships, find community with others dealing with similar challenges, and escape the world of cancer.
Going to camp will mean the world to me because I will be able to provide light and love to all our kids dealing with a difficult time. Camp Kaleidoscope is my opportunity to give back to kids like me who want a place to be seen and not have to worry about the things going on at home.
This year, I am looking forward to planning our backpacking trip for older campers in the Outdoor Leadership Program and playing lots of Gaga ball. So this Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to Camp Kaleidoscope!
Your donation would mean a lot to us! Here is where your donation would go:
$20 - T-shirts for a camper
$50 - Art supplies for our Crafts Rotations
$75 - Dance party decorations
$100 - Unit snacks for a week
$300 - Rent bouncy houses for our camp-wide Carnival
$500 - Fund a backpacking trip for our Outdoor Leadership Program
$1000 - Send a camper to camp
If you can't make a donation at this point, help me reach my goal by sharing this page on any social media platform or with anyone that might be interested in helping us out.
Thank you so much!
With so much love,
Carlson "Mogu Mogu" Marquez
