My Story
Hi! I need your help. I'm taking part in 127th Boston Marathon to raise money for Silver Lining Mentoring, an incredible organization that provides mentorships for Boston-area children and teens in foster care. SLM matches foster kids with volunteer mentors - often the only people in their lives who aren't paid to be there. The strong relationships built between these mentors and mentees lead not only make an enormous difference in their happiness and development, but also lead to significant, tangible improvements in outcomes like education and employment, breaking the cycle of poverty in their lives. In a time when so much attention is being paid to crime prevention without policing, SLM is an organization that is on the ground doing the work every day. I hope you consider donating, and please spread the word! Every little bit counts.
