Aly was just eight years old when she became more than a sister—she became a caretaker. With her mother lost to addiction, she was left to feed bottles and change diapers for her younger brother, trading in her childhood far too soon. Six years in foster care, and she still carries the weight of responsibility that was never meant to be hers.
DOGTAGS4JESUS is partnering with Love For A Child to help send Aly and others in similar circumstances to a week of lifechanging camp where he will be hosted and helped by over 100 trained and trauma informed volunteers who are there to make his experience fun, positive, and most importantly Christ-centered. When you give to help Aly go to camp, you will receive a custom printed dogtag with a bible verse that Aly and the volunteers who serve him will also receive, so you will be linked together to pray for him and he can remember God’s promises knowing there are people like you supporting his journey.
