Story
Our request stems from the real-life challenges we witness when beginning our journey with a young adult. Often, they face urgent needs upon first being matched with a Mentoring Family, basic necessities that can’t wait. While navigating life, additional hardships may arise.
Having gift cards readily available allows us to respond quickly to these moments of crisis. They can ease the burden on Mentoring Families, meet immediate essentials, and serve as a lifeline for young adults in distress. Sometimes, a simple act of support can make the difference in helping a young person recover from a difficult situation and continue moving forward on their path to independence and thriving.
