During Kids Camp everyone realized that Nikki loves bags. Nikki came to America with a backpack that she took with her everywhere she went. For the Christmas celebration each child received their own backpack filled with books which was a hit for sweet Nikki! The next day the children went to the zoo. Nikki walked out the door with two backpacks and an Easter basket… you never know what you might need at the zoo!

Nikki is a very sweet girl who cares for others around her. When one of her friends had a stuffy nose during Kids Camp, Nikki would hold up a tissue and help her friend to blow her nose. She was kind and caring to others.

Meet darling Katy.

Katy is a precious, fun-loving six year old girl. Katy’s special need is Down syndrome and CHD; specifically postoperative VSD repaired and PFO, and mild tricuspid incompetence. Katy came to Lifeline’s March Kids Camp and was so fun to be around. She is described as a polite, curious, and outgoing child.

Katy likes to dance to “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and play with her friends. It was observed at Kids Camp that she likes to pick a buddy and be with that person for the entire day. When she went to the zoo, she chose a buddy that was tall so that she could sit on his shoulders and wave to all the guests at the zoo.

Katy loves to laugh and be silly. She loved to be moving — whether that was riding in the Target shopping cart, swinging, or spending time playing with a friend or buddy. During the shopping trip to Target, Katy picked out a pair of glitter dress-up shoes. Once the group returned to camp, she did not want to take off those shoes! She “clicked clicked clicked” all over camp in her pretty new shoes.

Katy is full of energy and described as a really special little girl by one of the volunteers from Kids Camp.
