Cameron is at a time in his life where he is starting to grow up and branch out. His mother, Kimberly, wants her son to use this period wisely to broaden his horizons. “Cameron gets his country perspective of life from me. I don’t know much about the city way of life,” she said. “Cameron could learn a new perspective from a mentor - different religions, different walks of life.”
Cameron, who is 12 years old, already has a long list of interests – camping, riding bikes, collecting knives, hunting, cooking, playing video games, and socializing on his new cell phone. He wants to be a professional basketball player one day, but he also has a love of animals. Kimberly, a dog groomer, occasionally takes him to work with her in the summer. “Cameron is great with dogs. He’s a good worker.”
Kimberly says her son needs a mentor to help fill the void left when his biological big brother leaves for the army. The two spend a lot of time together, and Cameron will miss him while he’s gone. It’s important for Cameron to have a role model that can spend time and share interests with him.
Mentors have the ability to give new, profound experiences and views to their mentees. Cameron and other Littles waiting to be matched are eager for these experiences to shape their future. After all, a little perspective goes a long way.
