“We need that partner, and Hope Collaborative is fantastic at this; who is consistent, who communicates, and who brings love to these kids.”

“Hopefully, it did as much for the other people as it did for me. It really did divert me onto a better track.”

“I would love to have enough mentors that all of our kids could have a mentor because it is something that they need; it is something they crave.”

“Our son needed a mentor, he needed a friend, he needed an adult who could help him navigate some of these really big problems who also cared about him on a one-on-one level.  I am so grateful that his mentor was a source of stability during that difficult time.”
