BS Katherine(Kitty) Knapke and LS Courtney Harvey have been matched since 2002.
In that time the two have become good friends who like to catch a meal together, shop, attend the organized match activities and take advantage of the special ticket offers through the agency.
Since being matched Kitty has been able to help and support Courtney as she has struggled with school, friends and decisions in her life. She has been able to watch Courtney blossom into a responsible and talented teenager. Courtney excels academically, is on the honor roll and is a very talented soccer player for her high school as well as a select team. The Match tries to see each other twice a month as Kitty’s job and Courtney’s school and soccer schedule at Roger Bacon High School keep their schedules very full.
Courtney commented Kitty “helps her a lot in different ways than her mom can and thinks her advice is better than any of her other friends.” Kitty has enjoyed watching Courtney grow into a beautiful young woman…Their activities give them a chance to talk. They have learned to be flexible with each other in their match activities and feels it has been a learning experience for both of them being matched.” |
