Making a Difference, for Life

This heart-warming Good Morning America story is about mentoring and true friendship. Big Brothers Big Sisters brought 65-year-old Chester and seven-year-old David together thirty years ago when Chester, a father and grandfather, thought he was too old to be a mentor and David, being raised by a single mother, was hoping for someone to fill in for his missing father. Chester (now 95) hopes that their wonderful story will inspire other older adults to get involved with children who need them.
