"Watching my relationship with my Little grow has "Watching my relationship with my Little grow has been one of the most meaningful parts of my journey, a reminder that it truly takes a village to help a child flourish.

I’ve also deeply valued partnering with her mother, collaborating as a team to support her in the ways she deserves. Being part of her village has been a privilege, and watching her world expand has been a joy." - Big Sister Jessica
