Ok! Good news!!! We we have a box at the UPS store so packages don't get left outside the house in the rain or hot sun!!! They will also email me when the packages come in. We are already collecting some supplies for the "Cameron's Fight Big Bags" Thank you soooo much!!! This is really starting to come together!!! So, I found a bag that I like at the local t-shirt store, they offered to do the printing for free and the bags at a discounted price!!! .... So....for those who want to help (1) You can go on the "Candlelighters for kids with Cancer" and hit the donate button and put "Cameron's Fight Big Bags" in the notes section. This will help the families with kids with cancer, new diagnosis or bereavement program. This donation will put a bag only & gift cards for food gas, ect to families with a pediatric cancer diagnosis. This will really help them. We are doing this limited version due to storage issues on the cancer kids floor. (2) Another way to help is....you can send items that we need to fill bags for the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) families, if the are in the PICU there is no way they are going home soon and are most likely fresh from the ambulance with nothing but the shirts on their backs. These items needed for "Cameron's Comfort Kits" are: Those hotel shampoos ect that collect in your drawer, toothbrushes, tooth paste, deodorant men's & women's, hair spray/gel, flip flops, socks, slippers, undies (various sizes), sweat pant & t-shirts, hair brush, waterproof mascara, shavers, shaving cream, kids toothbrushes, kids toothpaste, kids jammies(2 piece), fuzzy blanket, cozy pillowcase, hair ties, tampons ect. those rooms can get cold so a fuzzy zip up jacket, snack, fuzzy toy, any kind of tote bag to put these goodies in. Basically anything you would need if you had nothing, and were covered in something that would make you want to change your clothes.(all new please) (3) Another way to help is....you can send us a check made out to "Shirt Circuit" to help with the cost of the actual fight big bags.(4) Another way to help is....making a check made out to "OHSU Cafeteria" to put meal gift card in "Cameron's Fight Big Bag" The address you can send any of this gear for "Cameron's Comfort Kits" is:
"Cameron Merrill"
PMB 185
922 NW Circle BLVD Suite 160
Corvallis, OR 97330-1483

Please do not send any cash or checks made out to us personally, since we would have to claim it on our personal taxes as income.
The PICU items are not tax deductible, but the "Candlelighter's for kids with Cancer" donation IS tax deductible. Cameron's Fight Big Bags is not a "charity" we are just helping the PICU in his honor with your help. Making a legacy for him. I will put a link to "Candlelighter's for kids with Cancer" is an actual chairity, for those who would like to donate there. Thank you sooooooooo much for all of your love prayers and support for cheering this on and making this idea a reality. If it weren't for all of your love, prayers & positive thoughts I seriously couldn't have had the strength to do this. You can give yourself a big hug from me and know that you & Cameron are making a big difference for people during the worst times of their lives. Thank you for making our little boy's strength, sweet nature and courage leave a big mark on this world. Big giant hugs to you, thank you for being part of the "Cameron Merrill's Big Fight family" you have been there in the trenches with me, and now we are going to make a difference in Cammy's honor I can't thank you enough Big hugs to you <3
