Cameron Carlson, 11, from Prince George, has benefited from support provided to his family by Variety - the Children's Charity of BC and will be showcased on the Variety Show of Hearts Telethon Sunday, Feb. 26.
Diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia Cameron Carlson, 11-year-old Prince George student, needs extra support at school and mom Lindsay paid for the private psychoeducational assessment but suspected there was a bit more going on with her beloved son.
“So I wasn’t sure what to do,” Lindsay said. “A friend said ‘what about Variety?’ I know they buy equipment and they do all these heavy medical things but in recent years they expanded to do all these services because no one could get them.”“It was really easy to apply,” Lindsay said. A few short months later Cameron was assessed.
Cameron is in Grade 6 and loves Star Wars. His favourite character is Captain Rex and his favourite class in school is Applied Design, Skills and Technologies where he makes movies with his team and his latest project is called Aliens Invading and is about blue and red blobs invading the planet Earth. It’s going to be awesome.
Variety - the Children’s Charity Variety Show of Hearts will launch Global News Hour at 6 on Thursday, Feb. 23 where viewers will be treated to stories of hope, courage and resilience from children who Variety has helped in 2022. The inspiring stories will continue on all of Global BC’s newscasts including Global News.
