Cameron Doyle, HHS ‘21 graduate, has been struggling in health since diagnosed in February with #aplasticanemia, a rare and very serious blood disorder & illness. He’s been hospitalized much of the spring in order to protect his failing immune system and also receive many desperately needed platelet donations. After finding a bone marrow transplant match in his older brother, Cameron completed several days of chemo and other treatments prior to the transplant/infusion which finally occurred on June 9th after several delays. Please pray with us for his full recovery, for his & his brother’s strength & courage, his family, and for the medical team who is caring for him. 

We also know so many of you would like to support Cam and his family in their financial burdens, especially since he has faced many weeks of hospitalization and medical care & expenses. You can contact his parents, Christopher Doyle or Amy Piland, (or family friend, Stephanie Jamail) for ways to give directly towards Cam’s financial needs.

Sunshine Kids Hill Country Adventure –Kids with cancer being Kids!

On behalf of local first responders and our community, we wanted to share details about the Sunshine Kids (SSK) Hill Country Adventure.  The SSK organization sponsors children with cancer to a week away from hospitals, treatment and pain.  Hays County will receive 24 special SSK’s and six pediatric cancer nurses for an exciting week to “just be a kid” from June 6 through June 12, 2022,.

These special kids will get to visit our local areas such as the State Capitol, Sea World, Schlitterbahn, our rivers and other cool sights.  Many of these areas offer an opportunity for souvenirs and remembrances.  The goal is to raise $100 for each child.  If you are willing to donate towards a sponsorship, we would love to have the help.  100% of your donation will go directly to “Our Sunshine Kids”.

You can donate via Venmo @HaysCountyCitizensAcademy-Alum 

When donating via Venmo please make sure to add in the notes “SSK – Hill Country Adventure Donation”… or drop off cash or a check to Jeri Skrocki at Central Administration.

A big shout out to our first responders and all of the volunteers for what they do to give these kids some tremendous memories.  They and their families truly appreciate it.  For some more information on Sunshine Kids and what they do, www.sunshinekids.org
