Mentor, Friend Needed for Johnsburg Teen

It's another 'Waiting Wednesday' at Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County! Do you know someone who would make a great Big Sister for Anna?

Each Wednesday we pick one waiting child, a 'Little', to profile in hopes to find the him or her the perfect Big Brother or Big Sister. There are now 41 children right here in our community on our waiting list, some of whom have been waiting for over a year!

Meet Anna. She is a fun 13 year old girl from Johnsburg who enjoys listening to music, dancing, arts & crafts, and keeping up with the latest fashion trends. Anna lives with a large, mixed family that has been through a lot together. Anna’s mother would like a Big Sister for her daughter so she can have a positive role model outside of the home to have fun with and just be a kid.

Anna has been on our waiting list for over 7 months and would love a Big Sister hang out with her a just few times a month. Sharing your love for music and fashion could be all that it takes to make a positive difference in this young teen’s life.
