“We love because He first loved us.”1 John 4:19
We have the best mentors involved with Alive at Last. They faithfully serve out of the overflow of understanding the love that Jesus demonstrated to us and the call He gave us to love one another.
Not only do our mentors commit to a 6-month mentorship with their match, they often go above and beyond serving their mentee with the love of Christ as needs arise.
An example of this is when one of our mentors learned about her mentees’ need to get to an emergency room but she wasn’t able to get there due to physical challenges and young children at home who needed to be cared for. Our mentor offered to go and pick her up and take her to the emergency room and care for her young children while she was getting tests done. She also helped her mentee find resources that could help her overcome some of the financial hurdles preventing her from getting the medical care she needed.
Another time this mentor had her mentee and children over for their first American Thanksgiving dinner.
At Christmas, another mentor hosted a Christmas party that included 4 survivors, their children, and their mentors. Each survivor received personal gift bags from Alive at Last along with gift cards for $200 each to help provide Christmas for their children. The children all got to create their own gingerbread houses while at this Christmas party. Great memories were made for all.
These are just a few examples of the commitment and love that our mentors have for their mentees.
