Meet Big Brother Nick Krutz and Little Brother Johaido
Our Match of the Month for April is Big Brother Nick Krutz and his Little Brother Johaido, who just celebrated their 6-year match anniversary!
When the two met, Johaido was extremely shy and struggled in school but over the years he’s found success both academically and socially.
Right now one of their favorite things to do together is work on science and chemistry kits—the “coolest one yet” has been a small robot powered by salt water!
Nick and Johaido get together a couple times a month, for a few hours each time. Johaido is always ready with an update on his grades and how everything is going at school. Nick says his Little Brother is “a naturally creative person who gets very energized about the things he likes to do. He bottles up and saves a lot of stories from the week to share with me.”
Nick takes his role as a Big Brother, and Defender of Potential, seriously, and says, “We have recently started talking about what Johaido thinks he wants to be when he grows up. Going into the summer we’ll make a short list of those things and see if we can find out more about them together. I’m also encouraging him to get involved extra-curricular activities.”
