Abby, after spending a week documenting the VACC Camp, my perspective on life has certainly changed – especially how I see other people. We can learn so much from people who face challenges we could barely imagine. Hopefully, more people will come to realize this and appreciate those things they have.
Always nice to see you here

I love your posts Dan, and this is no exception. While I in no way face the struggles of the amazing people you have the honor of meeting at these camps, I’m no stranger to stigma and disability. I’ve come to realize that those who are often regarded as “different” in some way–physically, mentally, socially–are usually the most connected, empathetic, compassionate people. Perhaps there’s something about struggle that brings about strength and solidarity, not to mention tolerance and talent.

She sounds amazing–they all do–and again, I thank you for not only the chance to read about them, but also for the perspective.
