Letters To The Editor

 

Dear Editor,

In Alabama alone there are over 6,000 children waiting for a caring adult to open their heart and home to a child in need. Foster parents are more than just caregivers; they are also teachers and role models.

Through my work as a Recruiter for Alabama MENTOR, I know how resilient the children we serve are. Foster children have an extraordinary capacity to overcome many challenges – but only if they have the support of a caring adult in their lives.

There is perhaps no opportunity more rewarding than caring for a child in need. If you are interested in making a positive impact on the life of a child in Cullman or Marshall County, please call Alabama MENTOR at (256) 774-2934. As a member of the Alabama MENTOR team, you’ll have access to training, resources and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

There will also be an opportunity to meet our staff at an Informational Orientation to be held at our office for anyone interested in learning more about becoming a foster parent. This meeting will take place on 9/9/10 at 6:00 pm. Also, feel free to bring a friend and a list of questions!

Sincerely,

Kristina C. Anderson, LBSW
