Matched for two years, Ben and Aaron have built a strong connection centered around new experiences and personal growth. Ben enrolled in the program seeking a positive role model and opportunities to try new things after the loss of a parent. Aaron, motivated to make a difference, has supported Ben by introducing him to board games, sports like football and tennis, new foods, and even his first haunted house. Their outings have helped Ben expand his social circle, gain confidence, and embrace new opportunities.
Despite challenges like busy schedules and other commitments, Aaron remains a consistent mentor in Ben’s life. PG Radmila notes Ben’s growing confidence, academic success in AP classes, and active involvement in track. Ben values his time with Aaron, appreciating his ability to listen, offer advice, and create memorable experiences. Both Ben and Aaron are committed to maintaining their meaningful relationship as Ben continues to thrive.
