Dianne was just a two-month-old baby when she was diagnosed with leukaemia.

‘I don't really remember much, I know I spent a lot of time in hospitals, I also have scars from the treatment... But I'm over it... Of course, there are still a few things, for example, I shouldn't strain myself, I shouldn't stress too much , otherwise the disease may reappear. Well, those cells can be activated in anyone, but for me the risk is higher, because I already had leukaemia.’

I met Dianne at the end of the climbing activity at Yuppi Camp. She was tired, but she had a huge smile on her face.

’Wow, I thought I wouldn't be able to get down, did you see that I got stuck in the swing? I couldn't pull the rope to unlock myself. I panicked, I thought that I would definitely not be able to get down from there, that I will get hurt, and I got more and more scared, but in the end I managed to get down. Then I tried a second time, because everyone encouraged me.’

On the second attempt, Dianne managed to unhook the rope. When she got down from the swing, the other girls congratulated her with a group hug. 

’When I arrived to the camp, I was quite anxious, I didn't want to talk to anyone, neither the volunteers - the Elves, as we call them here - nor my roommates. I was ashamed of everyone, but not anymore. I befriended a lot of children here. ’

Annually, 400 children are diagnosed with diabetes, 420 children learn that they have cancer*, and the number of those diagnosed with an autoimmune disease is even today unknown. The lives of these children, these families, change in a matter of seconds. The small everyday joys are replaced by helplessness, fear and anxiety, feelings that never go away. Hundreds of plans are cancelled, all certainties become uncertainties. But a camp should not be like that!

Because illnesses do not take vacations, but chronically and seriously illnesses  children need to. Offer now a chance at childhood for children like Dianne!


P.S. Dianne is a pseudonym as we want to protect the family's privacy.

What does Yuppi Camp do, and why should I trust the organisation?

plus icon minus icon

Yuppi Camp organises free therapeutic recreation camps and activities for children and teenagers with cancer, diabetes or other autoimmune  and serious diseases, and their families, providing them 24/7 healthcare.

We are the first camp in Romania that uses the revolutionary method practised by SeriousFun Children’s Network, the method of recreational therapy. The success of recreational therapy lies in the fact that the participants take part in activities and challenges where they discover their own abilities, talents, experience a sense of success and thereby increase their self-confidence. At Yuppi camps, children and their families participate in activities such as climbing, equestrianism, rowing, archery, handicraft, acting, and magic. 

Since 2011, 1,483 campers have benefited from these life-changing experiences with the help and encouragement of 1,292 volunteers. We have organised 28 camps, 2 family weekends and 13 online camps and sessions, and we have a medical team of 96 specialists from across the country.

How does my donation help?

plus icon minus icon

Your generosity means so much more than just simple numbers. Your generosity is the gift of childhood. A childhood where children with cancer, diabetes or other autoimmune and serious diseases, such as Dianne, climb high ropes, ride horses for the first time in their lives, aim their bows even with their eyes closed, and make friends with whom they can talk about their disease. Your generosity gives courage to chronically ill children.

But if you prefer numbers: a donation of 25 lei means 1 hour of medical assistance in the camp. A pack of arrows for archery costs 50 lei. Your donation of 100 lei covers the costs of three meals for a child staying in the camp.

You can read more about us in the Annual Report.
