One mentor. years OF FRIENDSHIP. A lifetime of impact.

When Little Sister Aria was matched with Big Sister Kelly in June 2021, she was shy, timid, and hesitant to step outside her comfort zone. Today, she’s taking center stage—playing in the school band, singing solos, and boldly embracing new experiences like camping, farm visits, and her first AC/DC concert.


Through every challenge over the last many years, Kelly’s steadfast encouragement didn't just expand Aria’s horizons—it helped her find her voice. Their unwavering commitment to one another earned them the title of 2026 Greater Cleveland Big and Little of the Year, standing as a powerful reminder of what happens when a young person has a champion in their corner.
