Awilda and Alison were originally matched through our Bigs In Schools Program
at Bruce-Monroe Elementary School in Washington, DC. Their relationship
blossomed from the school-based to a community-based match where activities
could be enjoyed outside of school.
When Bianca and Alejandra were first matched, Alejandra was introverted and barely managed to smile. Bianca was an extrovert and full of joy despite the challenges she had faced in her life. Alejandra needed someone joyful to make her smile again and after meeting Bianca for the first time, she couldn’t stop laughing at her jokes. They became an unfathomable match!
