Finding a writing mentor for person with a disability and mental health issues.

Hi, I'm new to this but here goes:  could anyone out there offer me any tips on how to find a writing mentor? This would need to be someone prepared to either work for free, or for very little (possibly via some charity).  Also, it would need to be a mentor familiar in supporting a person with a disability and mental health condition. It's a big ask I know, but thought I would send this request out into the ether and see what comes back!

I'll keep looking for any further opportunities with your criteria in mind and will update this when I find more :)
