Igniting New Confidence

8-year-old Cameron does not have any involvement with his father and has had no positive male influences in his life.  His mom hoped that he could have a positive male mentor so she contacted Big Brothers Big Sisters.  Cameron was then matched with a fun, active Big Brother, Scott. Cameron decided he wanted to try baseball for the first time as he had never been on a sports team. Cameron’s mom wasn’t sure how to navigate this new experience so with some help from Scott, Cameron was registered for a team. As fortune would have it, baseball is Scott’s favorite sport and he took Cameron and his mom to a sports shop and helped them pick out all the right equipment. On the day of tryouts, Scott surprised Cameron and was right there beside him to support the experience. Mom sent a picture of Cameron and Scott to BBBS and said, “I have been crying all morning because Cameron had the best morning ever and is carrying a new confidence.”
