Match of the Month - Prieana and Kailey

10/12/2019

 
Meet Prieana and Kailey. This is not the first match for either of them, so they were both ready to hit the ground running. While they have not been matched for long these two peas in a pod have already logged countless moments of adventure and fun. 

Before being matched with Kailey, Prieana’s mother described her as bored. She wanted adventure and new experiences but did not have easy access to them. Kailey was self described as silly and open to anything. While the two did not have a long list of specific interests in common, they were united by their sense of adventure and desire to try new things. This built excitement for them to explore each others interest and build trust through those experiences.

Prieana and Kailey have had so much fun being together, and expanding each others horizons. From trying new foods, to Tiger’s games they have built a safe space where they can freely exchange their ideas on what to do next. They support each other and encourage each other to go beyond their comfort zone.

Both Prieana and Kailey have expressed how genuine their sisterly bond has become. Beyond seeking adventure they also love the simple moments  they spend together like singing in the car, and chatting about life. Nothing sums up the essential nature of their support structure like Prieana’s own words. “Kailey is the best Big Sister… she walked into my life unexpectedly, but has been great to have around.”
