For May’s Match of the Month, meet Big Sister Kim Popa and her Little Sister Dasani, who have been matched for 6 ½ years. During that time, they’ve developed a close and trusting relationship, and Kim has helped Dasani navigate the challenges that life has thrown her way. Dasani is a remarkable young lady and puts 100% into everything she does. Kim has set this example for her, and has consistently been one of Dasani’s biggest cheerleaders, encouraging her to always strive to reach her goals. One of those is to go to college, and Kim has been working with her over the past year to make sure she had the resources she needs to achieve this goal. We are happy to report that Dasani graduates from Oyler high school this month with plans to attend the University of Cincinnati in pursuit of a Nursing degree. The future of healthcare is in good hands.
Dasani’s dad DeShawn says Kim and Dasani “are forever,” and he knows Kim will always have a place in Dasani’s life. He expresses gratitude that his daughter has such a strong female role model in her life. Dasani says, "This match has meant so much to me over the past 6 years. I'm so glad I met Kim and so thankful for what she has taught me."
Kim says, "To watch Dasani grow into the incredible young woman that she is has impacted my life in so many positive ways. From the day we met, I was inspired by her adaptability, the joy and ease she found in everything we did, and her curiosity and zest for life. I cannot wait to see what college and beyond holds for her!"
Our thanks to Kim for helping Dasani reach her full potential, and to the two of them and Dasani’s father for being part of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati! There are many children in our 13-county service area waiting for their own Big Brother or Big Sister. Volunteer today at bigsforkids.org/volunteer.
