Mentor Helps Little Find Strength, Confidence

By | Ripple Stories | No Comments

Two years ago, I got out of my comfort zone and committed to being a Big Sister. I was matched with an incredible 6-year-old with a beautiful name: MaKayla. As with any 6-year-old, her energy was off the charts! But one of the things she had issues with, and still does to some degree, was self-confidence. She was scared of everything! But she was willing to try almost everything, too! We’ve climbed the wall at the rec center, gone horseback riding, swimming, and so much more. She has definitely won the heart of my family. MaKayla’s biggest accomplishment is that when we met, she was terrified of Teva, my dog. I understood how a wolf-looking (Shepherd Husky) dog can scare people! Now she now likes to call Teva her dog, she pets her, feeds her treats, and always asks if we can see her. MaKayla has grown in her self-confidence and…

BBBS Night at Pizza Ranch

Serving Up Pizza for Big Brothers Big Sisters

By | Ripple Stories | No Comments

In February, my Neora Team and I partnered with a local restaurant, Pizza Ranch, to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS). They have a Community Outreach program for nonprofit organizations, so we organized a night for BBBS. Twenty percent of the total food tab of patrons who come to eat and support the nonprofit – as well as all tips – are donated. On these nights there is only kitchen and cashier staff there. The nonprofit is responsible for bringing a group of people whose role is to bus tables, greet the customers, and promote the organization. We had a blast doing this, and raised $360 for BBBS with more to come! It so much fun! We scheduled another one in March as well as our bowling event in April. We love being part of this movement to Make People Better! Phyllis Anderson Lincoln, Nebraska

Supporting a Little Sister’s Dream

By | Ripple Stories | No Comments

Neora Brand Partner Rebecca Massee was matched with 13-year-old Jazlyn in April 2014. Rebecca said she had been considering becoming a Big Sister and was convinced after a Big Brothers Big Sisters representative spoke at a conference the year before.  Jazlyn and Rebecca like to eat out, walk dogs, hike, and swim. Rebecca said that Jazlyn is very athletic. “We have a lot of fun being outside and being active together and we both love to eat out! But mostly it’s nice to visit together and just talk about everyday things,” she said.  Rebecca has high hopes for Jazlyn’s future. “She’s a natural at technology and hopes to be a veterinarian.” Rebecca helps support Jazlyn’s dream of becoming a veterinarian by encouraging her to perform well in school and helping her improve communication and social skills.  Rebecca also supports BBBS by having donations withdrawn from commission checks.

Helping a Little Get a Second Chance

By | Ripple Stories | No Comments

I joined Big Brothers Big Sisters in 2014 and met my Little Brother, Seth, in January 2015. This experience has brought me so much joy and it is very rewarding to see Seth begin to turn around since losing both parents a couple years ago. He is a smart boy and he is working so hard and making such progress. Seth and his three siblings have been kept together and were adopted by a very sweet lady named Susan. Seth and I have been meeting every other week ever since. We go to sporting events in Detroit to see the Lions, Tigers, Red Wings and Pistons. He is a big fan. We also work on Cub Scout and school projects together. I gave him a copy of the Success for Teens book for his birthday and he has started to read it. I have made it one of my primary missions in life…
