Little Brother Kyle Seeks Active Male Mentor

Each Wednesday we pick one waiting child to profile in hopes to find the him or her the perfect Big Brother or Big Sister. Do you know someone who would make the perfect Big Brother for Kyle?

There are 36 children right here in McHenry County on our waiting list to be matched with a postive adult mentor. Why wait another week? Start Something today!

Football, baseball, softball, soccer, fishing… These are just a few of the activities that 10 year old Kyle from Johnsburg enjoys. Kyle loves all kinds of sports and outdoor activities, but there are not very many kids in his neighborhood his age. Some days he stays in side all day if no one comes over. Like most of our waiting little brothers, Kyle lacks a positive male role model in his life.

Kyle has been waiting over 5 months for an active Big Brother who would enjoy taking him to the batting cages, or teaching him to play hockey.

For just a few hours, a couple times a month, you can give a Kyle the invaluable gift of your friendship. Changing his perspective of what the world has to offer could literally change his life. For more information about becoming a mentor to Kyle call Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mchenry County at 815-385-3855 or visit www.bbbsmchenry.org.
