Kids Hope

Just One Hour per Week It was so very easy to picture Brayden falling through the 'educational system' cracks as he had many, many issues he was dealing with socially, emotionally, and academically - the list went on. However, over a three year period, his growth, confidence, improvement in schoolwork and personal development gave his mentor, Bill, real genuine and sincere hope for his future. “It wasn't an easy ride, in fact, there were times when I felt like giving up", recounted Bill, “however it was so important, for both our sakes, to persist. And how incredibly rewarding it was when we spoke about his mum (who'd passed away several years earlier) for the first time and were able to get to a place where he could openly and warmly talk about his memories of her. Previously he wouldn't or couldn't even talk about her at all. It’s certainly not all to do with KIDS HOPE AUS, however, according to his extremely thankful dad, it has been a significant, positive and invaluable influence. To get a ‘big bear hug’ and a sincere heart-felt thank you (in fact many thank you’s) from his dad certainly made it all so very worthwhile”. “Being a KIDS HOPE AUS mentor has definitely been one of the best and most rewarding things I’ve ever done – and it works”! To think that just one hour a week of committed care, time and attention can make such a real difference. If you would like to find out how to become a mentor, please contact Church Office
