The Bridge

Sometimes, perseverance comes from having a friend who works hard and shows you what’s possible. Other times, perseverance comes from having a friend who will urge you on when it hurts. Either way, overcoming hard things is easier when you’ve got a buddy!

Perseverance is a noun. According to Webster, it means “continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition”.

Bridge Kids have perseverance. In the past year, we have watched their accomplishments in sports reach levels that we would never have believed. We have watched their academic abilities grow in ways that have amazed us. We have watched them fight to have joy in spite of pain.

They inspire us to keep putting effort into what’s important, and it’s our joy to walk beside them as they do the same.

Here at The Bridge, we want a place where the whole family feels like they belong!

A place you belong just the way you are.
Before you try. Before you change. Before you get it “right.”
There is space for your thoughts, your feelings, your questions, and your dreams.
You are part of something good and kind,
and there is a place in it that only you can fill.

You are loved.
You are wanted.
You belong. 💛

-Jeff Martens, Life Buddy Mentor
