Jessica is a 12 year old wanting a Big Sister who will help her with cheerleading and sports. She is shy at first but warms up quickly. Jessica has been raised by her grandparents who are now having a hard time managing 4 children. They would love for Jessica to be matched with someone that can help her navigate her teen years. She needs a Big Sister who will answer questions about boys and all the changes she is going through.
Taylor is 8 and attends West school. She is super sweet and very sensitive. Her family is big and when there is fighting she gets very upset. Taylor needs time away from all the siblings and someone that will help build her confidence. Plus, she needs some help in MATH – not her favorite subject. Her math grade is dropping fast, but she excels in all her other classes!
Stephanie is a 16 year old who lost her dad a few years ago. She has had a hard time coping with the loss. Stephanie is a typical teenager just needing someone to talk to and do girl stuff with. Her life has been tough but she has BIG dreams. She just needs someone to stand beside her and show her how to make those dreams come true.
