This year, we’ve asked our community to share what Desert Bus for Hope and Child’s Play means to them, and what impact they’ve had on their lives. Here is a selection of these community submissions…
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 10, and at the hospital they had a Gamecube with a Mario Party game, which really helped during a difficult time. So I know how effective @CPCharity's work can be, and I want to fund that for others. #DBtoMe

#DBtoMe On Nov 9 2019 @DesertBus helped the love of my life propose to me. On Oct 3 2020 that moment was part of our wedding ceremony. Thank you for being part of our love story! https://t.co/CHlMWucqzh pic.twitter.com/rc2tsWHtuY

@DesertBus My son Ben was 6 when he was diagnosed with cancer. He and his little sister spent countless hours at the hospital playing games. It is a privilege to help provide that for kids today. #DBTOME

@DesertBus When I was 14 I was in Great Ormand Street hospital for 10 weeks. I passed the time by playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 on the PS2. I know how much games can really improve a child's stay in hospital and since DB4 this event has become really important to me #DBTOME

You know that feeling of place and family you get at a great convention? Want that feeling from comfort of home? Desert Bus gives that for me, for a whole week every year. The community, art, comedy, hype, and unabashed enthusiasm are so wholesome and healing. #DBtoMe
