It is a side effect that many veterans suffer, so when Cameron Campbell’s father received help to recover from post-traumatic stress disorder, the nine-year-old decided he wanted to do something to help too.
And as a keen gardener, he used his green fingers to “grow” a pot of money for the charity that is helping his father David by using his love of gardening and plants in the fundraising exercise. Cameron, of Northallerton, North Yorkshire, planted vegetable seeds on a windowsill, which grew into a bumper crop and sold out within days, raising £130 for Help for Heroes.
He was diagnosed with PTSD in 2019 as a result of what he had experienced in war zones and has benefited from specialist mental health counselling through Help for Heroes’ Hidden Wounds team. Help for Heroes champions the Armed Forces community and helps them live well after service. The charity helps them, and their families, to recover and get on with their lives.
