Looking for a mentor: Liv

Kids ‘n Kinship provides friendships and positive role models to children and youth ages 5-16 who are in need of an additional supportive relationship with an adult. Here’s one of the youth waiting for a mentor:

Looking for a mentor: Liv (Kids ‘n Kinship)

First name: Liv

Age: 5

Interests: Liv loves to go to the park and swim, and she has a passion for fashion! She enjoys playing dress-up and playing pretend. She loves adventures.

Personality/Characteristics: Her mom says: “Liv is full of life! She is a fun little girl to be around. She is very smart, realistic and a great jokester! She can be shy when getting to know you, or she can be straightforward and talkative. She loves being involved and feeling important! She also loves helping.”  She describes herself as: goofy, determined, fun.

Goals/dreams: She is the youngest sibling of four from a single-guardian home and mom would love for her to get a chance to be a kid, get the attention she craves and deserves, and give her chances to do and try new things. When she grows up she wants to be a doctor. Mom was a Kids ‘n Kinship kid herself, and her desire for Liv to be in the program is: “I feel like it would help her to be more successful as a child, it would give her the opportunity to do more independently, and have her own time with someone else. It will add more to her and her life as a whole. I feel like she could benefit greatly from this opportunity!” Liv’s three wishes would be to: 1) Eat lots of food (pizza)  2) Being a doctor right now  3) Having a great big house.
