John has been part of a mentor program where he goes to a public school and hangs out with a student who might need a little support. He has been doing this for a few years and it is a wonderful program.
Our kids have always wanted to have a mentor, but they do not qualify, so they have not had one.
Well thanks to some friends sharing how their foster kids have been in the amazing camp for foster kids or foster kids who have been adopted, our kids went and loved it. Well to go a step farther, the kids that went to camp have the option of having a mentor through this program for the year. Just like camp it is amazing!
Once a month there is an activity that the mentors do with the kids all together, then another time during the month the mentors take the kids out for some one on one time.
So it started this month, and it has been amazing. The mentors come and get Isaiah and Denali and take them to the event and bring them home. They made crafts and played games and got to know their mentors and other kids.
Then Tim came and got Isaiah a couple nights ago, they went for hot chocolate, and then to the book store where Isaiah got to get a book. Oh this is such an amazing program and we are so lucky to have such great mentors.
Denali is going out with her mentor this weekend, and she can't wait.
Here are Tim and Isaiah.
Here are Kayleigh and Denali.
Oh how lucky we are to have this opportunity for the kids!
Thank you to our mentors and all the mentors who help with this program.
This is such a big deal for our family!
