Justine & Alissa

“We look forward to seeing each other. I bring lunch and we have fun planning the lunch for the next week. We talk and draw and play games. I must be doing something right: she sees me in the hall and throws herself at me and almost knocks me down. I have to be near the wall.”
Justine

“We’ve been seeing each other for two years. I was told he had trouble making eye contact with people. Now he is very good about talking to me and giving me eye contact. We’re friends now and I’m told he is much more at ease with people in general.”

“No matter how busy life gets, I wouldn’t trade our hours together for anything in the world. And each time I hug her goodbye after an unforgettable afternoon, I really do feel like the luckiest Big Sister that there ever was.”

 

 

 

"Everything in my life, from school to friends, is better because of Matt."

"She listens to me and gives me advice. We have a lot of fun together, and I feel like I am important. "

 


 

"He’s super fun, there’s nothing he can’t do. He has a lot of cool and fun ideas. He’s unique and ever since we’ve been matched, I’ve tried so many new things. We have tons of fun and he even comes more than once a week sometimes."
—Hunter
