Little Sisters Say:

"I love my Big with all my heart. She is probably the best friend I have ever had. Big Sisters is probably one of the best things I have ever been able to take part in. My Big is someone I can trust with anything. At first I thought this was kinda a stupid program and how could we ever be friends . . . wow was I ever proven wrong!! This is the best friendship I have ever had. This is what a true friendship is. My Big has shown me what it means to be loved."

"She is always there when I need someon to talk to, especially when it is family things that I can't talk to them about."

"I have gotten to do a lot of cool things. My Big Sister has taught me to be good and kind."

Big Sisters Say:

"Being a Big Sister has allowed me to take a step back from my hectic and busy adult life, and experience the joys of childhood all over again. It has provided me with the opportunity to make a lasting impression on the life of a child."

"Becoming a Big Sister is by far the best thing I have done in my life to this point. I look forward to our visits together and she counts down the sleeps. Seeing her smile, hearing her laugh, listening to her concerns or stories, truly brings joy to my life. I feel I am making a difference in her life and I know she is making one in mine."

"She is more spontaneous and open than me and so she is constantly challenging me to be more like her."

Parents Say:

"Big Sisters is a Program that benefits both my daughter and I. Her Big Sister is an inspiration to us both! She brings us confidence and shows my daughter how good it is to volunteer our precious time to others. My daughter's Big Sister is the greatest in all ways and with the short wait for our match we participated in many Big Sister Big Bunch Programs sometimes together, sometimes she would go alone, however our Big Sister find was the perfect match for our needs and goals of what we wanted to get from the Big Sister Program."
