We Can continues to walk beside families following the loss of a child to a brain tumor.
We Can have hope.

A weekend family camp forms the centerpiece of the program. Working closely with Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times, We Can Have Hope provides families with time to reflect and tools to walk their journey of grief.
We Can Have Hope campers are divided into four groups:

"I felt completely comfortable and relieved to be surrounded by people who are going through the same things as me. I don't feel as isolated anymore. I realize now that my feelings are normal and okay. I have met new people I would have never met before and I feel connected to them."
-- adult camper
"This camp gives me a chance to connect with other parents who completely understand what my loss feels like. We share that loss in a way that nobody else can ever truly share. Connection through conversation is what I treasure most about this camp. It helps not to feel so alone."
-- adult camper
"We Can helped me through and understand the grief process. And for the first time in a long time to be happy and have fun."
-- young camper
"It helped me confront my sadness and anger in a positive way. We did fun activities. Good food and fun people."
