Showing Up Matters: Frederick and Jahveir’s Journey

The impact Big Brother Frederick has had on his Little Brother, Jahveir, over the course of their 4+ year match is truly meaningful.

Jahveir sometimes experiences anxiety in social situations, and Frederick has supported him by helping create a thoughtful, balanced approach to outings—always prioritizing Jahveir’s feelings and comfort level. Frederick views this as a shared learning experience, describing their relationship as a “constant path of growth.” With Frederick by his side, Jahveir is gaining confidence and learning to navigate new experiences at his own pace.

“I consider Frederick family, and I thank God for their match.” – Nicholle, Jahveir’s mom

Frederick understands the power of simply showing up and building authentic connection. That consistency and care is what Jahveir and his mom, Nicholle, value most about him. One mentor can change a life. You could be that mentor. Become a Big!
