Seeking BIG Brother for 11 YO Boy who loves Basketball, Fishing and Video Games

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Boston

Image_202405281350

"Jonah" is an 11 YO boy with an Autism diagnosis who enjoys sports and is eager to be matched with a BIG Brother (open to age, religion, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.) His family is going through a challenging time with one parent facing complex medical issues and Jonah could really benefit from another adult in his life. He enjoys team sports with neuro-typical peers such as football and basketball. A good fit would be an active man who is patient, kind and likes sports (need not be athletic as long as can join Jonah in his level of activity.) He loves learning about sharks, sea creatures, and aquariums. He enjoys long walks on the beach, playing chess, board games and Minecraft video games.
