Mentor Spotlight: Sherry and Marhann
Marhann, the youngest of two children, is on the state champion gymnastics team and plays the clarinet. She loves to create art and looks forward to the summers when she visits her family in Ghana.
An avid supporter of our Military Initiative, Sherry has frequently been involved in Honor Flight but was looking to do something more. Sherry was so interested in being a role model for a child that she committed to drive all the way from Pennsylvania to New York to be Marhann's mentor.
Marhann loves to paint and Sherry is talented in arts and crafts, so it wasn't surprising that their first visit was doing stamp art! In the nearly year and a half since the pair has been matched, they have made many memories together. Whether it's baking a pumpkin pie from scratch after going pumpkin picking or molding chocolates for Easter, the two always find a way to be creative and have fun.
