Proud of our life-changing Operation Bigs volunteers!
Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County celebrated two of their Bigs of the Year, who are part of the agency's Operation Bigs program. This program provides mentoring support to youth from active duty, veteran, and gold star families. When Little Jailynn was matched with her Big Alli through the Operation Bigs program, Alli prioritized Jailynn's interests in outings and consistently offered a listening ear. Not only does Big Alli serve as a mentor, but she also teaches Little Jailynn how to advocate for herself and her needs. Little Madden and Big Anthony's bond has grown stronger every day over the last five years. Big Anthony said: "I've watched the stone-faced boy I met so long ago become a strong, confident, outgoing young man. He has become one of my best friends and truly one of the most cherished people in my life." #MilitaryAppreciationMonth #BeBig 💚
Anthony Guevara, P.E. You are an amazing Big Brother!!!
