It Takes a Village
Profile of a Little Buddy:
Andrew (“AJ”) is a 17 year old young man who has been part of the Cape Fear Volunteer Center 's Big Buddy program since the age of 6. He is currently a Senior at Hanover High here in Wilmington.
Hi lives with his Adoptive Grandmother, Rose, since 2010. Rose is originally from Mississippi and moved here to Wilmington in 1990, she also works part-time as a CNA and Caregiver. Rose first took “guardianship” of AJ and his brother and sister when the children’s natural parents (Rose’s daughter) were unable to care for the children and have since been fully adopted.
AJ loves Surfing with IndoJack Surf Camp and till recently, played golf with a gentleman who goes by “Mr. Jake” who
recruited students interested in golf and taught them the game (the lessons got moved to Sunday mornings and that interfered with Church, so AJ discontued the game for now.) He has also been active with the “Explore” Mentor Program hosted by the Wilmington Sheriffs’ Department.
When AJ graduates next Spring, he plans to enter the Army immediately. He has been mentored by a local Sergeant Bradly about the process of enlisting. AJ would very much like to travel far across the globe for his service time…maybe Japan. He wishes to initially do his 4 years of service to include college studies and become an officer. AJ is excited to start his new life in the Army and as Rose said “AJ wants to see the World…Make Money…and build his Mom a House”!!!
In the below photos, first photo is AJ with his sister, second is of AJ alone, and 3rd is his grandmother Rose.
