Boy Seeks Active Male Mentor Who Plays Chess

Patch has partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County to publish the profiles of area boys in need of mentors.

As part of an effort to get the word out about Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County's need for male mentors, Patch will be publishing a different profile daily of young boys in need of a "Big Brother." Here is today's profile: 

Little Brother Blake is 9 years old and lives in Woodstock with his mom and younger brother. Blake really enjoys and excels at sports; especially football and soccer. He has several trophies he proudly displays in his room.

Blake does not know his father and craves attention from a male figure. He is looking for an active Big Brother to play sports with and teach him how to play chess.
