“I am involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland & Salem Counties because I feel fortunate to have grown up in a loving household with both a mother and a father to help guide me. Many children today, through no choice of their own, live in a household with multiple children where the pressures of everyday life are shouldered by one parent, or in some situations by a grandparent or guardian. At some point in their life, each child will become responsible for their own decisions. For me that was age 18. But I often think about all of the attention, instruction, and encouragement that my sister and I received from our parents and other mentors in our lives that helped us make good decisions as adults. Now, as a happy and successful adult, I would want the same for all children. Big Brothers Big Sisters makes this happen by matching a child in need with a caring adult! This is why I support Big Brothers Big Sisters!”
