Meet Sabin, a former Little Brother, now a Big Brother,
now a BBBS Board Member, now a co-owner of
Cousins Maine Lobster and now a co-founder of his own
charitable foundation
(
Cousins for a Cause
)
He is BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS.
Concerned about his future, Sabin's mom enrolled him in Big Brothers
Big Sisters. After more than 2 years of waiting, he was finally matched
with Steve Lacovara, a 22-year-old member of the coast guard, now
a Major in the US Marine Corps. "If Steve had not come into my life at
the time he did, I don't think I'd be where I am today. When I was being
recruited to play college soccer and basketball, my father never showed
up to my games. But Steve was at every game, sitting alongside my
mom and offering me the guidance and support I needed. He was the
Big Brother I never had and we are closer than ever today. I had the
honor of being in Steve's wedding and he named his first son Anthony
Sabin. I am as much a part of his family as he is of mine."
Finding himself in a position to pay it forward, Sabin signed up to be
a Big Brother in 2013. "I was paired with Lawrence and our bond was
immediate and continues to strengthen. He's a great kid. I feel lucky
to have him in my life. I could have gone either way as a child, and I
want to help kids at that same precipice. I only hope I can be half as
effective for Lawrence as Steve was for me."
