Give a Blessing - Be a Blessing
Camp Can Do
A place where children facing cancer can simply be kids.
Camp Can Do is a Pennsylvania camp for children ages 8-17 who have been diagnosed with cancer and their siblings. Families attend at no cost, with volunteer doctors and nurses available around the clock so campers can safely enjoy camp and simply be kids.
Bonnie Rose attended Camp Can Do during her cancer treatment. She wanted the chance to feel like a normal child again, and the camp gave her that gift.
Her experience there had a profound impact on our family, which is why Purple Wishing Gate continues to support Camp Can Do in Bonnie's memory.
Purple Wishing Gate donates 10% of every order to Camp Can Do.
Our Inspiration
The Story of Purple Wishing Gate
The dream that inspired Purple Wishing Gate
The beloved inspiration behind Purple Wishing Gate.
After Barbara D. MacAdam's 12-year-old daughter, Bonnie Rose, passed away from cancer, Purple Wishing Gate came to Barbara in a dream.
In the dream, Barbara saw Bonnie standing behind a beautiful purple gate in what appeared to be a heavenly garden. Purple had always been Bonnie's favorite color, which made the gate seem especially fitting.
Barbara watched as Bonnie greeted people who came to the gate, but Bonnie wouldn't let them through. Instead, she listened to their wishes, wrote them on little pieces of paper, and then hurried away to give those wishes to God.
Bonnie was very busy, very happy, and very important in her new place in Heaven, helping people turn to God for what they needed.
Where wishes made are turned to prayer,
so God can keep them in His care!
In Bonnie's loving memory, giving back to children affected by cancer became part of the heart of Purple Wishing Gate.
That promise continues today: Purple Wishing Gate donates 10% of every order to Camp Can Do for Kids with Cancer. Every purchase helps us continue Bonnie's legacy while sharing a blessing with someone you love.
Thank you for allowing your order to be part of that mission.

Beautifully written, beautifully crafted and captured the sentiment I wanted to convey to niece who is a nurse.
She Cried, but she wasn't the only one. What an awesome retirement celebration we had for her yesterday. Those closest to her cried too when I read the plaque. We all know first hand of the deep love and dedication she had for her patients and coworkers over the years. Several said it was like your beautiful poem was written with her in mind. Thanks again for having my back on my mixup Barbara. Folks-she caught that I had selected the wrong poem in error, in comparison to the way I had worded the inscription tag and personally called me to confirm the exact poem I needed for this very special gift. Now THAT'S caring customer service above and beyond. Smiles, Kim
Wow Kim, I can't thank you enough for the beautiful review. You have no idea how validating it is to hear that others felt my blessing was written with your co-worker in mind. I do write from the heart and have personally been blessed by many nurses over the years, so I strive to capture the essence of these angels among us. Celebrating their retirement can be especially life-changing and should be honored. It was my sincere pleasure to work with you on this gift and I look forward to doing it again soon. Barb
