Hector lives alone with his mother and doesn’t have any positive male role models in his life. His mother would like him to have someone he can talk to, teach him how to respect women, and guide him to make positive choices in life.

Hector has been waiting for a Big Brother to be his mentor and friend for over 200 days.
