Janae didn't grow up with any siblings, and Kaytlynn didn't have a sister so they really connect on that level of sisterhood. Matched since 2020, Janae says that Kaytlynn has been really inspiring in that she can show up and be positive. What makes Janae special to Kaytlynn is her kindness and understanding. Iowa Big Brother of the Year- Travis Gorsch Volunteering as a Big to Little Brother Tyler has helped Travis Gorsch rediscover his passion for mentorship and get outside of his comfort zone. Being the youngest of 5 siblings, Travis now has the opportunity to have a "little brother" by mentoring Tyler (age 15). They have been matched since 2020. Tyler calls Travis one of the best friends he could ever ask for. He can go to Travis with anything he needs and counts him as a good influence on his life. 15
