Camp Connect
Meet Weston & Myleah
Camp Connect’s annual trip to Disneyland has been a highlight of the year for several years running, and this one was no exception! We were happy to learn that this trip would be several campers’ very first to Disneyland. Such was the case for Weston & Myleah.
Weston (11) and Myleah (7) entered care in 2022 due to abuse and neglect and have been living apart ever since. Thankfully, they’ve both been constants at Camp Connect, where they reunite at monthly events like this.
Weston loves his little sister and loves taking care of her. Myleah was so excited walking into the park that she couldn’t slow down and kept losing the group in the crowd. After asking her to wait several times, Weston suggested that they hold hands while walking,g and they both agreed that was a good idea!
Always protective, Weston insisted they keep applying sunscreen while they waited in lines, and though Myleah would feign annoyance, rolling her eyes, she’d always let her brother help her with the spots she missed on her nose and shoulders.
It was a magical day for all 75 Camp Connect youth who attended, and judging by the smiles and laughter, it will be a day they remember for a long time. Thanks to supporters like you, this trip is possible for youth like Weston and Myleah.
