We are thrilled to recognize Monica and Jeni as Big and Little Sisters of the year, celebrating the beautiful friendship they’ve developed over the last four years!
The two have stayed close throughout the pandemic and Little Sister Jeni even kept Monica company over Zoom calls, talking and playing games, as she recovered from a kidney transplant. Monica affectionately refers to Jeni as her Hermana and says that Jeni is like a real little sister to her.
Monica helped guide Jeni through applying to colleges, scholarships, and even sat with Jeni’s parents to help them fill out the financial aid forms. Jeni recently updated us that she was just accepted into Washington State University! She is excited about her future and to be the first person in her family to go to college! Big Sister Monica is thrilled that her Little Sister continuing her education nearby and continuing their friendship beyond graduation.
Our friends at Cambia Health Solution are matching gifts, dollar for dollar, up to $15,000! Give the gift of mentorship today and empower the resilience of a local young person, like Jeni!
