Meet Manuel. He is a very caring and funny kid who lives with his mother and grandparents. Manuel gets along well with his grandfather, but does not see him very often because he works a lot and takes care of his sick grandmother.
Manuel likes to ride his bike and do jumps in the yard. He is very good at math, which comes easily to him. He has played guitar in the past, is very good at drawing and would like to try out for football next season. When he gets older, Manuel would like to be in the X-Games and travel around the world twice.
Manuel would like to try many things with a Big Brother including skiing, riding dirt bikes, swimming, camping, fishing, hunting, bow and arrow target shooting, rock climbing, horseback riding, driving go-carts, working on cars, and watching and playing baseball, football and basketball.
You don’t have to change your life to change the life of a child like Manuel. Just a few hours a couple times a month is enough to make a difference as a Big Brother. You can also be a Big as a Couple Match or with your whole family as a Family Match.
Right now, there is a need for Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Couple and Family matches with children living in Prescott Valley, Dewey and Chino Valley. Call 778-5135, or go to www.azbigs.org, for more information on how you can help change a child’s life… Fundamentally. For the better. Forever.
