“My sons’ big brothers have been a real
blessing to my boys and our family. I believe the experience that they
have with their Big Brothers will remain with them for the rest of their
lives.
Both Big Brothers had a soft spot in
their hearts for boys that didn’t have a dad at home because they
experienced that themselves in their own childhood.
It’s
my prayer as a single mother, that my boys continue to carry that soft
spot in their hearts for boys that don’t have a dad at home, just like
their Big Brothers did for them.”

“Words alone cannot express the gratitude I feel for Big Brothers &
Big Sisters of Williams Lake. They have assisted my family and I in so
many ways.
Because of the special bond my children have
developed with their ‘Bigs,’ they have bloomed into happy, confident
young adults. It’s been such a privilege to have these wonderful, caring
people involved in their lives.
A special
thank-you to you, the citizens and merchants of Williams Lake for your
support of a program that has been integral in the well-being of our
family.”
-Yours truly, A grateful Parent
“I believe this is one of the best community based programs available
for kids in Williams Lake; ‘hard to believe it is free. The mentors
provide a special hour that my kids look forward to all week. This is a
bright spot amongst many frustrations during the week.”

“I am particularly gratified by this meaningful intervention at my
inner-city school. High absenteeism is a regular occurrence; regardless
of home difficulties, these students are at school on the day their
mentor is scheduled.”
