Emily and Amanda
Big Brothers Big Sisters

Emily, a local real estate agent, always thought that she would like to volunteer in her community but did not know how or where. Through one of her co-workers, Emily was introduced to the Big Brothers Big Sisters program in Augusta. She was so impressed that she signed up and went through the training to become a Big Sister.

Amanda, age 11, was in need of a mentor in her life. Her mother had passed away and her sister was diagnosed with autism, which left a lot less time for Amanda’s needs. She has been paired up with Emily as a Little Sister, and the bond has helped them both. Emily has learned a lot about children and their love of life from Amanda.

“She brings a lot of life and happiness to our relationship and has taught me to appreciate the little things again.” With United Way funding these two have been given The Gift of Hope…
