A COAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

During one winter session, Steven noticed Anthony didn’t have a coat. He brought it to the BBBS team’s attention—and by the end of the day, Anthony had a coat of his own. Steven made him feel warm, cared for, and seen.
 “That’s when I knew I could trust him,” Anthony shared.
