My Nonprofit Reviews

I've been a BIG to my three LITTLES for a little over 1 year and I love it. My littles live with their mom and are 6, 8, and 13. Mom struggles to provide simple things and at times just needs a break, that's where I come in. I pick the girls up every other Saturday and spend 4-5 hours with them. We usually bake cookies or a cake, then play games or color. For Christmas and Mother's day we all worked together on simple crafts to make their mom a gift. I think the best one was the t-shirt with their pictures on it. My oldest little struggles with reading so we try to make time to sit and read together, then talk about what she read. I also do other things with them such as roller skating (them, I watch) or a dollar movie. Since money is tight we tend to do lots of things at home. I have also done things like buy tennis shoes for school or an outfit now and then. While tis is not necessary as a BIG, I think for me it's important. I remember being the child whose parents couldn't afford new shoes at the start of a school year, always wearing hand me downs. I just love being a BIG, I love being able to make a difference in their lives, if in no other way then to make time for them, when you have time for somebody your telling them "YOU MATTER". I hope to be around for a long time so that I can watch my littlest little graduate and go on to college.
