Review for AFK Youth Mentoring, Sammamish, WA, USA
We have been with the Athletes for Kids program for 12 years. My daughter had 6 mentors and they have all made an extraordinary impact not only on our daughter's life but on our family as well. Life of a special needs individual is often isolated and lonely and it puts a lot of strain in the family, who is already overwhelmed caring for the needs and demands of the child. Having a mentor come to play with our daughter once a week is like a beam of hope that brings so much happiness to our home. AFK have not only brought mentors (who later became lifelong friends) to our family, but have also created a community and a network of support that families like ours desperately need. We are grateful to AFK for always thinking like us and always finding ways to make our lives happier and better.
