Patrick is a 7-year-old who lives in Brainerd and wants to grow up to be a motorcycle mechanic. He also dreams of fishing in a boat, paddling down a river and camping.
Do you have room in your boat for an extra child, the patience to teach a boy to put a worm on a hook or show him how to paddle a canoe? Is there an empty space next to you while you hike through the woods or a place in your picnic basket for one more sandwich?
Summer is coming to an end and fall is just around the corner. Make this a season to remember and be Patrick's mentor. By including him in your regular scheduled activities, he will gain a friend and you will receive so much more than you could ever give.
