“As the Foundation expands Camp Erin, we have the opportunity to reach out to communities nationwide to help bring Camp Erin to more kids who are grieving the loss of a loved one. It’s a great opportunity for communities all over to embrace this need, making a positive impact in the lives of children that will last their lifetime.”
- Jamie Moyer, Co-Founder - The Moyer Foundation

“When you look into the eyes of these children, you see their hearts through their stories. They are struggling to cope with and accept their circumstance, but they are learning that there is hope, that they are not alone, and there is light in their eyes that maybe wasn’t there before. We feel blessed to have been a part of this healing process and our hope is that we can bring this experience to more children so that no child grieves alone.”
- Karen Moyer, Co- Founder – The Moyer Foundation
