Chris (Little) and Steven (Big) have been matched for six years! They love playing soccer together and are always both full participants at all Sports Buddies events. They have built an incredible bond over the course of their match relationship with BBBS.
These two had their first virtual hangout in April and talked about how their lives have changed through the current pandemic and discussed everything sports, like how awesome the NFL draft is going to be this month. Chris told his Program Specialist, “We talked about things like Sports, the NFL draft, Some personal stuff like what happened over the break and my birthday party. Thank you. It was really fun!”
Chris’s grandmother, Colleen, said, “I have seen him become more thoughtful after he spoke with Steven. Chris says that Steven gives him great advice when they talk about certain subjects. The call they had on Thursday last week was epic for Chris. I think that made Chris feel special and that their bond is a valid one. I think he can see how Steven’s hard work is paying off for him and appreciates his advice! It’s kind of a highlight for him during this stressful time! Awesome match!”
