Hudson earnestly colored a picture while being interviewed to be a Kinship Partner, pausing only to look up and smile while answering the questions. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" he was asked. "A race car driver and a teacher" he said. "And how would you describe yourself?" He answered "I'm a kid who likes to have fun."
Hudson lives with his mom in Pillager and says he's best at golf and fishing, but would really like to try snowmobiling and canoeing. He is also interested in fishing, hunting, boating and four wheeling. At 8 years old, he is a typical Minnesota boy.
Have you thought about mentoring a child, but hesitate, believing you don't have time? By simply including a child such as Hudson in your everyday life, you can make such a difference. With only a couple hours a week, you can be a mentor.
Kinship Partners serves families in Crow Wing County, southern Cass County and the Staples/Motley area by providing positive role models to youth from the ages of 5 to 14. Mentors can be individuals, couples or families. We have offices in Brainerd, Pequot Lakes, Crosby and Staples.
