Social Worker Letter from Alaska

April 22, 2015

Email received from:
Rachel Olson, Camp Director
Royal Family KIDS - Mat-Su #310

I did want to tell you that I had an amazing experience last Friday! I had several cases transferred to me and I did a home visit with a sibling group of 2 (girls). The foster parent asked about their applications for Royal Family Kids and I told her I received them and the girls are on the list. The girls then started screaming out of excitement! They went and got their photo albums out (I recognized one of them from your slide show J) and one of them had to go put on her t-shirt. She also showed me her bible, which was in her bed with her! They just couldn’t stop talking about after it was brought up. So cute! I was told when they were dropped off at camp they were crying and scared and when they were picked up they started crying because they didn’t want to leave. It was so wonderful to see how happy they were!
