Bigs Testimonies 

"Through my little's eyes, New York again becomes the city of childhood dreams, a place where anything is possible. I hope through my eyes she sees that, if she works hard enough, and dreams big enough, the rest of the world will have to reach up to touch her greatness."- Shannon Wrobeleski- Big Sister of  1 year

"I am a new big brother and I have been with my little brother for three months now.  The first thing that comes to mind when you ask how it feels to be a big brother is how close the two of us have become in such a short period of time. I feel that we grow closer every time that we see each other.  We are, simply put, an important part of each other's lives."Gary Menkes- Big Brother of 6 months

"When I first my Little Sister, I felt so much pressure to make her talk, but as our relationship grew, I learned to be patient and that helped her to feel comfortable and open up. We are like family now"Susana Silva- Big Sister of 9 years
