"Spending time with my Little Brother is easy.  Stuff I’d do anyway is more fun with him."

In our lives, each of us shared an important connection with someone who broadened our horizons and brought a little magic into our lives. 

 

It was the person who taught you to throw that perfect spiral, or sat in the front row to cheer you on, even when it was embarrassing. These are the little moments that Big Brothers and Big Sisters experience every day. 

 

These real life stories are just a few of the ways Big Brothers  Big Sisters is changing lives and communities forever.

 

 

Big Brother Dave and Little Brother Kevin

Note From a Mother 

"I had a Big Sister when I was growing up, and as a child who went through the BBBS program - I liked it. I decided about six years ago to enroll my son into the program and that is when Dave Hunt II came into Kevin's life. At that time, Kevin was having problems in school and also at home.  

Dave and Kevin developed a very strong relationship. Kevin can talk to Dave about anything and no matter what Dave has going on, he always tries to make time for Kevin, giving support in any way he can. About three years ago, Kevin burned himself badly and was in the University of Michigan Burn Center for nine days, six of which were spent in the ICU Burn Unit. Dave kept in contact with us and Kevin the entire time, offering to help in any way he could. I can’t tell you how much we appreciated his support at that point in time.  

Kevin & Dave have done a lot of things together; putt putt golf is one of Kevin's favorite things to do with Dave. Kevin is involved in swimming and tennis in high school and Dave tries to attend some of Kevin's games. 

Kevin has made a lot of good choices for himself since he has been matched with Dave. They both have busy schedules when school is in session but they talk at work because Kevin works for Dave at Big Boy in St. Johns!  

I greatly appreciate everything Dave and his family have done for Kevin. Dave's entire family took Kevin into their lives. They all have a special place in our hearts and always will. I am very thankful for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program because it has really helped my family and I feel the program has done a lot of for my son.
