This three minute presentation tells the story of Rich, a former “Little” turned “Big.” Raised by a single mother in Miami’s tough Liberty City area, Rich beat the odds, went to college and became an engineer. Rich credits his success to the fresh perspective and support offered to him by his Big Brother. Now Rich is giving back to his new Little Brother, DJ. A truly powerful story.
