Welcome to the website honoring Cameron Averitt Bobbitt. 
Cameron was an amazing little girl who died on January 19, 2006. She was truly one of the most precious people to ever walk this earth. As her parents, we will never be able to express the loss we feel now that Cameron is gone.
Even though Cameron was only five years old when she died, she loved to read books and share them with others. In December 2006, the family and friends of Cameron started a book club in her honor. This book club was inspired by her grandmother, who is a reading specialist.
We initially received over 200 books just by word of mouth. On the one year anniversary of Cameron’s death, we personally donated many of these books to schools, hospitals, libraries, and medical clinics. Many people from places that received books collected new books and sent them to us. This has allowed us to continue to provide books for children who otherwise might not have them. It is our hope that in receiving these books, children will share in the legacy of the joy of reading the way that Cameron did.
If you would like to help continue the book club, you are welcome to participate. Please purchase a book appropriate for a child of any age and send it directly to Cameron’s parents, Susan Averitt and Derrick Bobbitt.
If you or someone you know needs children’s books, please let us know. We would love to provide books to schools, clinics, churches, or other organizations that involve children. Reading with children is a way to help them learn to read, discover lessons about life, and feel loved.
Thank you so much for your interest in the book club. Enjoy your reading!
Sincerely,
Susan and Derrick Bobbitt

I just went back and reviewed the list of all the donors to Cameron’s Memorial Fund over the past year. What a blessing! I am so thankful that we have friends and family who love us and want to help us remember Cameron. Please know that I do appreciate each and every donation. I sometimes forget to post on the blog the details about each gift. But I know of your generosity and am truly thankful.
It is so easy to get bogged down in the daily grind. I know that I, for one, am tired and busy. I forget to slow down and appreciate people and gifts from above. I am thankful for hope. Hope has saved me from myself. It has never allowed me to get too low. No matter how sad or angry I have ever been, I have always had a glimmer of hope. I pray the same is true for you. Merry Christmas to everyone. You are loved.
Susan
