Lift Up My Little

Ignite potential and help me LIFT UP MY LITTLE! I am participating in the 1st Annual Big Brothers Big Sisters "Lift Up My Little" campaign to raise funds and empower potential across our community.

Loren's experience with BBBS thus far:

Kiyonna (12) and I were matched in April of 2018 and have had an absolute blast getting to know each other over the last year. I have made some of my favorite memories with her and feel honored to be a part of her life. Each new first I get to see her experience, feels like a first for me. 

She hesitantly took her first bite of guacamole while we were having lunch one afternoon and as I watched her polish off half the bowl, I knew we'd be friends forever! She will try anything once and I love that about her! Still on our to do list, ride horses, go to a boxing lesson, volunteer with rescue dogs, swim, fly on an airplane, go to her first concert, and try sushi to name a few.

She has reminded me how truly blessed I am and to take nothing for granted.  We've had some great talks and some really fun times together and I look forward to another great year in 2019! I hope I am imparting as much wisdom and joy into her life as she is into mine.

Your donation will help raise money to keep this incredible program operating at its full potential and help to impact the lives of so many Littles and Bigs alike. And as a bonus - if Kiki and I are in the top three fundraising teams - we will get to experience a ride in a helicopter around Dallas. An experience I know neither of us will ever forget!

I know we are all asked to support many wonderful causes so with that, please know any amount is appreciated and every dollar makes a difference!

Thank you so much!

Kiyonna's experience with BBBS thus far: I promise I did not bribe her for this :)

Hi, my name is Kiyonna and I'm 12 years old. This is almost my first year being in the (BBBS) Big Brother, Big Sister program. I was matched with the perfect Big Sister, Loren. We have lots in common. We enjoy doing lots of things together. With your help we can put other kids together with their perfect match!

A note from BBBS:

Your gift enables one-to-one mentoring to be a free, safe, and effective resource for families and children with potential to be paired with an adult mentor to stand in their corner. Even more, when you fund a match, you propel a life-changing ripple effect for the surrounding family members and the generations that follow. Young people with a mentor are more likely to graduate, become leader in their community, avoid incarceration, and volunteer. Best part: if my Little and I are one of the top 3 fundraisers, my Little with have the opportunity to climb aboard a helicopter and soar over the city! 

Will you please help me LIFT UP MY LITTLE?
