When matched in 2019, Julian was unsure about having a Big Sister. He's a tough cookie and meeting virtually was a challenge at first, but using Facetime to video chat was a game changer! Kylie & Julian have been meeting weekly ever since.

Lori & Alaina like going on bike rides, doing crafts, and Lori took Alaina ice skating for the first time. The two always look forward to seeing each other, and we know that's because they have already formed a strong bond.
