The mission of Children’s Diabetes Camp of Central Texas is to support and advise Camp Bluebonnet, Bluebonnet Buds Day, Bluebonnet Bigs Day, and CIT Day so that volunteers may provide a safe camp experience that accommodates the unique health needs of both kids and adults who have diabetes. Camp Bluebonnet is our longest running program. It is a week long day camp available to kids who have diabetes and who are going into grades 1-12. Kids who have graduated, but have not yet turned 18 can come back for an additional summer. We love to have former campers who have turned 18 serve as volunteers. We accept siblings to Camp Bluebonnet on a limited basis. We hold camp at Peaceable Kingdom Retreat for Children each summer during the third full week of June.

Circle of Care for families of children with cancer is a nonprofit organization that provides practical, emotional, and financial support from day of diagnosis, through treatment, and beyond. Their programs and services address the unique and challenging non-medical needs of childhood cancer because, having been there themselves, they know kids need more than medicine to heal. Circle of Care’s story began with mothers who had heard the words no one ever wants to hear, “Your child has cancer.” Since 2003, the organization has been fulfilling its mission to help ease the journey for families facing childhood cancer—supporting over 3000 families in Connecticut, transforming 150 rooms through their dream makeover program, and providing over $2M in direct financial support. A childhood cancer diagnosis involves an immediate immersion into hospital life requiring parents and caretakers to adapt to an entirely new way of life. Circle of Care continues to stand with these families in treatment, providing a unique set of programs and services that supply immediate and needed support at every step of these families’ journeys. While many cancer organizations offer episodic assistance, like a summer away at camp or a day trip, Circle of Care is a constant source of support. They are the only pediatric cancer organization in Connecticut that has services to last through, and beyond, a child’s cancer treatment. They are also the only pediatric cancer organization in Connecticut that offers financial assistance and other services to young adults, up to age 26. This extensive reach fills a critical service gap in the state.

Our mission is to secure an active, long-lasting, and unified support to children with cancer in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our vision that every child in Bosnia and Herzegovina has an equal and secure upbringing. We are a non-profit organization that offers services to children with cancer. The Association Heart for Kids with Cancer was founded in 2003 with a mission of creating best practices and opportunities in treating and supporting pediatric cancer patients and cancer survivors, as well as providing professional and financial help to children with cancer and their parents in Bosnia and Herzegovina. To this day, our ultimate focus has remained the same: providing help and support to pediatric cancer patients, survivors and their families. Our organization has been steadily developing ever since its inception. In 2016 we have built The Parents' House, a modern residential building with 10 apartments located on the premises of the Clinical Center of the University in Sarajevo, which provides housing for children undergoing therapy and their families. The Parents' House functions as a separate and independent project of our Association, and is financed solely through our fundraising activities. This has solved a major problem in our field of work, as the Clinical Center of the University in Sarajevo does not have means of accommodating parents of children undergoing therapy, most of which come from areas outside of Sarajevo. We document and closely monitor all our activities. As we are in a constant and direct contact with our clients, their feedback provides a valuable source of information for us. We use questionnaires, evaluation forms and pre/post interviews to derive quantitative and qualitative indicators in order to measure a relative success of our initiatives. All our activities are meticulously planned in advance, and monitored and evaluated along the way and retroactively. We rely extensively on short term and long term strategic planning to set the goals and objectives, and to determine the best way we use resources to tackle problems or exploit opportunities. Since all our operations are funded through fundraising activities and institutional and individual donations, we have put a special emphasis on transparency. We conduct external financial audits and employ independent consultants for all issues of any degree of sensitivity. We are proud to boldly claim that, on account of our dedication, achievements, and our meticulous approach to work, we enjoy a complete and unreserved trust of our clients, governmental institutions and the general public in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
