Meet Jayden, a fairly optimistic 7 year old who needs a Big Brother to give him the tools to become a successful man. He is very anxious to be matched to a Big Brother. Jayden lives with his mom, but sees his dad on rare occasions due to his father living in Phoenix. He enjoys singing, painting, and building things, and wants to become a “good cop” when he is older.
Others describe Jayden as a sweet, bright, smart, loving, and compassionate young boy who could truly benefit from the experience of having a Big Brother. He loves food, playing with his puppy, riding his bike, playing with toys, and especially playing video games. He likes being inside and talking, and thinks it is easy to meet new people. Jayden wants a “cool” Big Brother who he can share his secrets with.
