Congratulations to our November Match of the Month, Felix and Craig!
Little Brother Craig was disappointed when his first match ended after 2 ½ years due to unforeseen circumstances. Craig took matters into his own hands at a physical therapy appointment when he met Felix, a patient services representative. Craig shared that he was looking for a new Big Brother. Felix, a big kid himself, was drawn to Craig’s honesty about his need to connect with a mentor he could call his own.
Craig aspires to be an EMT when he grows up and is currently a proud safety patrol officer at his school. Felix works in physical therapy and recently took the MCAT to attend medical school in 2022. He has vowed that regardless of where his future leads him, they will stay in touch and his bond to Craig will remain.
In the few short months since Craig and Felix were matched, they have enjoyed many firsts together which include fishing (Craig caught a fish) and attending a Knights baseball game (Craig caught a game ball.) The sky is the limit for this match of the month!
When asked about being matched with Felix:
Craig’s response: “He is a guy that understands me. I love having someone to talk to about guy stuff.”
Craig’s mom response: "Felix is freaking awesome!’”
Thank you for being a wonderful mentor, Felix!
Please note that this is an unusual circumstance, and BBBSCC matches based on Big and Little preferences, location, and compatibility to make the best possible match. All volunteers must be vetted per BBBSCC standards prior to being matched.
