Mentoring for Children
As single parents, times can get tough. Raising children alone often means balancing work, school, and personal life, all while trying to provide them with the guidance and support they need. Sometimes, we need another positive role model, another father or mother figure, to step in and help fill the gap. Mentoring can make a world of difference, providing children with the encouragement, advice, and support they need to thrive.
