- $656,914 spent. Since opening our doors, Camerons House of Hope (CHOH) has welcomed 74 children, all with unique stories and potential. We are proud to work in partnership with the court system, Department of Social Services, and foster care to support these young individuals.Our commitment to their growth is evident: 75% of the children are performing at or above grade level. They participate in weekly STEAM enrichment programs and benefit from agricultural education through our new greenhouse. These initiatives not only enhance their academic skills but also foster confidence and a sense of belonging.Our children engage in community service, and we are excited to celebrate our first senior this fall, who has been with Cameron's House since their 9th-grade yeara testament to our lasting impact. Through enriching experiences like ice skating, outdoor fishing adventures, fitness classes, camps, and recreational sports leagues,we create moments that reaffirm their identity as children, not statistics.Trauma-informed therapy continues to guide these children toward a brighter future helping them understand that ending generational trauma begins with them. Along with academics and therapy, our dedicated volunteers play an invaluable role, investing their time, love, and resources into this mission. With unwavering support and community involvement, we are witnessing hope multiply within our children's lives.
