Board Member: Ida H. Wood

“My family and I immigrated to the States when I was about ten years old. I had the privilege of being in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. It was wonderful having a Big Sister to help me assimilate to American culture and to help me navigate learning English. Cindy was a wonderful Big Sister, and showed me the importance of giving back, musical theatre, and that kindness, above everything, is what matters. I now have the honor of serving Big Brothers Big Sisters in my community and hope to make even a fraction of the difference she made in my life. My goal is to show my four-year-old daughter how much good we can do in the world just by being a friend and a honoring the dignity and value of all persons.” -Ida
