Camp Breathe Easy is a free one-day camp that serves asthmatic children, ages six to thirteen, and their parents or guardians. The goal of Camp Breathe Easy is to teach children and their parents how to cope with asthma and prevent asthma attacks, in turn reducing school absenteeism, the number of emergency room visits taken each year, and the number of days parents miss from work due to their child’s illness. We would like to create activity kits so that the participants can make model lungs out of cups and balloons, to help them understand their asthma.

There is a silent auction available and guests are served a plated meal. The funds raised at this event will directly impact children in Florida served by One Hope United.

Since its inception, One Hope United’s purpose has been to care for children and to ensure they grow up in safe, loving environments. Today OHU’s team of over 700 talented professionals serves thousands of children and families each year in Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri and Florida. One of our most important goals is to ensure a safe and loving home for every child. We work with children of all ages who are wards of the state due to abuse, neglect or abandonment. These children need a stable, dependable, forever home and a family they can call their own. Safe, well-educated and well-cared-for children become adults who contribute to a more prosperous community.

One Hope United has support and counseling available for adoptive parents, children and families to help them grow together every step of the way.
