http://www.blogher.com/node/20359 Comments for "Mentorship for mentally challenged and disadvanged adults" en http://www.blogher.com/node/20359 <p>Greetings!!<br /> I have been searching the web for countless hours trying to find a mentorship program geared towards adults that are mentally challenged and disadvanged.<br /> You know all of us scream when the government either raises taxes to fund such programs for the disadvange, or some scream when the programs are cut back.<br /> But no one has ever thought to create a mentorship program for adults that mentally challenged or thought about the social impact such a program would have, how such a program would lead people towards being self supporting thus no longer requiring government benefits.<br /> I am such a person, even tho I am unable to work or funcution in an public work envirotment, I know for a fact that I am smart enough to work wounders in a home work enviroment or a private setting. but there are no programs to support such a change.<br /> If only one person would step froward to challenge me and to guide me I could one day tell the government what they could do with their public benefits.<br /> My personal situation is falling apart, it is to the point that unless I get some help fast just as sure as you are reading this I am going to be dead by the 4th of July and every effort I have made to turn things around have failed.<br /> There are a lot of people like myself out here, if just one of you would be willing to take the time to work with just one us, you would be making a major impact on socitiy and your rewards would be countless.<br /> I am intersted in starting a non profit mentoring program for mentally challenged and disadvanged adults, if someone would be willing to help me with such a project, please contact me asap.</p> http://www.blogher.com/node/20359#comments Introduce yourself Mon, 04 Jun 2007 02:54:00 -0500 two spirited cherokee 20359 at http://www.blogher.com
