Phoenix is a 4th grade boy with 6 other siblings being raised by a single mother. When Phoenix met his Big Brother Chase, he was struggling in Reading and displayed some acting out behaviors in school. Chase was a sophomore in high school when he first met Phoenix a year ago. Phoenix felt so special to be matched with a high school student who was there just for him each week.
Chase encouraged Phoenix to practice good behavior every day and do his best in school. A year later, Phoenix’s report card shows that he is now demonstrating exemplary behavior and maintaining all passing grades! Phoenix feels comfortable with Chase and feels like he can talk to him about anything. He is so proud to have Chase as a Big Brother. When Chase attended a Christmas Party at the Boys and Girls Club last month, Phoenix couldn’t wait to introduce his Big Brother to his mom and siblings!
Chase and Phoenix have formed a wonderful friendship and Phoenix has even inspired Chase to want to go into a career that involves working with children some day!
