You have the power to make a real difference and brighten the future of a child!

We are in the final weeks of this campaign to raise the funds to meet our budget. Please think of supporting Kinship. It is such a valuable resource for our community! Most of you know that Kevin and I are lucky enough to have two Kinship Partners. They are brothers and they are 13 and 8 years old. We began our Kinship story with the older brother and then when the younger boy lost his mentor we decidied to bring him on with us. We do not have grandchildren and being mentors has opened a whole new world of fun for us. We get to do the fun things that kids enjoy and get to share in their excitement!

You have the power to make a real difference and brighten the future of a child!

In life we are provided few situations in which we are rewarded just by walking into a room. Mentoring is one of those situations.

I believe that all kids deserve a positive relationship with a caring adult. The mission at Kinship Partners is to help children to reach their full potential through a personal relationship with a caring, trained volunteer who becomes their friend, role model and source of strength.

Today I am asking you to consider a gift to help support our "Brighten the Future" Annual Campaign, and help kids and families in our great community.

• $25 Offsets the cost of a background check
• $50 Provides activities for our matches and children on the waiting list
• $100 Supports a child on our waiting list
• $250 Recruits and trains a caring mentor
• $500 Supports a mentoring partnership for one year

My campaign goal is $1,500 and with your financial support Kinship Partners can reach even greater numbers of children, helping them to reach their full potential through a personal relationship with a caring, trained volunteer who becomes their friend, role model, and mentor.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
