FOR KIDS SAKE
From Big Brother Dustin
" One Sunday afternoon I took my Little Brother Zach to the Strong's Museum of Play. I have never been there before, and it was a great time to 'let go' and enjoy an afternoon playing with toys and games. Zach has been such a blessing to me, and I'm glad we can share memories and good times together."
Dustin and Little Brother Zach (age 11), have been matched since December of 2007. What must it feel like to a child to know he or she is ‘a blessing’ to someone? That’s what ignites the human spirit. That’s what makes mentoring work.

From Big Brother Jon at Unisys
"I get the biggest kick out of just talking to my Little Brother, Sean. One time my wife called while we were out getting food. She wanted me to pick up some dinner for her. Sean looks at me, pats me on my back, and says 'well – you know it is important to keep the wife happy.' I laughed and laughed at the wisdom of my eleven year old friend."
"I can not say enough about how much I have enjoyed spending time with my Little Brother. Watching him and our friendship grow is so very worthwhile."
Big Brother Jon
(Jon & Sean will celebrate their two year anniversary in March!)
