KATHY'S STORY

I have been involved with Big Sister in various ways since I was in my 20s. My introduction was as a Big Sister, matched with 9 year-old Little Sister Ruth from

Malden. I spent a great deal of time with Ruth and her family over those years until her high school graduation. I maintained my connection to the organization as an alumna and donor.

I have witnessed the positive effects of mentoring in my own life, as well as through my experience with Ruth and by meeting other Big and Little Sisters in the Big Sister Boston community. Watching this organization grow and change over the years as the needs of young women have grown and changed has been a real testament to Big Sister's leadership. I want to continue to invest in girls through donations during my lifetime and a larger gift upon my death.
