What are your plans for the weekend?

Want a chance to win an iPad 2?

For the last almost two years, I have worked as a mentor, volunteer leader and committee chair for an organization called YoungLives.  YoungLives is a mentoring program for teen moms {I became pregnant with my first child when I was 16} that offers support, unconditional love and guidance.  One of the highlights of the program is YoungLives camp, a week-long summer camp for teen moms and their babies.  Last year, we took 8 girls and 7 babies to Glen Spey, New York where one mom said she had “the best week of my life”. Who wouldn’t with zip lines, swimming, dancing and hanging out with other girls just like you?

In just a year our ministry has grown exponentially and this coming Sunday, August 7th, more than 25 moms and 23 babies will board a charter bus and go to summer camp!!! Hopefully, they will have the best week of their lives, as well!

Teen moms typically do not have money for extra things like summer camp so we raise all the funds for their trip through fundraising.  This year the cost to take these girls to camp exceeds $20,000!

I decided to help raise money for the camp fund by sponsoring an iPad giveaway through Eastern Panhandle Moms.
