After losing his 14-year-old daughter Maddie, a father turned his grief into purpose. Through The Mentor Well, he helps teens and young adults find guidance, empathy, and strength before they reach a breaking point. This story reminds us that grief, anger, and empathy can build hope—and connection saves lives.

Maddie’s story reminds us that kindness can outlive loss. On World Kindness Day, The Mentor Well celebrates her legacy through mentorship—connecting caring adults with teens who need someone to listen, guide, and believe in them. Be kind like Maddie, and help kindness grow one conversation at a time.
