James is 8 years old and he has a talent - he can do cartwheels. He also likes to play with his grandpa's dog Jake, put together puzzles (over 500 pieces) and ride his bike.
At school his favorite subject is art and he would like a Kinship Mentor who would teach him how to draw better. He loves Golden Puff Cereal, reading the Bible and watching "The Amazing World of Gumball."
What would he like to try but has not had a chance to? He says snowmobiling, four-wheeling, sledding and fishing.
Do you have animals, like to fish or play baseball? James is interested in any or all of those activities. As a matter of fact, when asked what he would most like to do with a mentor, he said "dig a really big hole".
Are you available? Do you have a little extra time? How about a dog, a fishing pole or even a shovel?
