Shari began her match with her
Little Sister, Chelsey, July 7, 2008, the year of the floods in Waverly. Chelsey and her family had just lost their
home to the flood and it took some time to relocate Chelsey and her
family. Shari was very patient during
the process. Chelsey and Shari bonded
immediately. Shari and Chelsey attend
almost every Big Brothers Big Sisters sponsored event and have raised money for Bowl For Kids’ Sake
too! Shari and Chelsey have gotten together
every week for the last 3 ½ years. They
will generally go to Shari’s home and do crafts, play games, and make
supper. Chelsey knew that by having a Big Sister she always had someone to
talk to when she was struggling with school and friends .
When asked how Chelsey would describe Shari,
Chelsey said that "Shari is a fun loving person that has nothing to say but good
things." Chelsey’s Mom is thankful for
such a wonderful match and feels like they will be together forever.
Congratulations Shari, you are have stood by Chelsey's side through it all!
Being a positive and fun person to your Little Sister is what we
strive for at Big Brothers Big Sisters.
