A camp in Warren County is helping children who've lost parents to COVID cope with their loss by connecting them with others who experienced grief after the 9/11 attacks.
The Comfort Zone Camp in Hardwick Township brought individuals who lost parents on September 11th to act as camp counselors for children whose parents died of COVID.
Counselor Katie Pereira, who lost her father Franco during the attacks, hopes she can help campers deal with their grief.
“I want to be here and give back to the organization that gave me such a huge piece of my life back as a grieving child,” she said.
