"Big Brothers Big Sisters"

I just love Big Brothers Big Sisters. I can honestly say that they have saved my life. I feel like a single mom, in that I am always taking care of my kids with no help from brant, because he is always at work in other states besides this one. It is very often that I am home for days at a time. I love that my kids have someone who is able to take them to a fun activity or event. The kids are always excited to see their big, as well as I to have a little break! This is Tracie, Maggies "Big Sister". Tracie grew up in California as an only child, she is going to Dixie State, and is about to graduate with a masters in Technical Writing! I believe that her main goal for volunteering is so that she can get used to having children around her for when she wants to start a family for herself.
This is Dan, Jeron's "Big". Dan is from Colorado City(Coinsidence Huh)! He is one of the most awesome people who I have met. He cares for Jeron so much. So far in their match of one month, he has takin Jeron all over the place. They have gone on an Airplane ride, Laser Mania, Jumping Jacks, Many hikes, and much much more. Dan also took Jeron to the Doctor when I was not able to afford to take him, because of no Medical insurance. Jeron is so Happy that Dan is his big. He has been a real blessing to our Family!

This Is Mack- Damiens "Big" Mack has been in Damiens life for a little over a month now. Mack is a returned missionary. He has been a great example to Damien and has taught him many things so far. They love to play computer games and do science experiments together. Mack is awesome, we are glad that he is damiens life to share happy memories together.
I want to tell everyone out their, If you have some time to spare for a child who you could mentor and be their Friend. Volunteer for Bi Brothers Big Sisters. What great blessing you will get and be able to brighten a child life with yours.
Thanks Dan, Tracie, and Mack- You are all awesome!!!
