WICHITA, Kansas, Dec. 5th, 2007 – We’ve all heard of the Twelve Days of Christmas, but at Big Brothers and Big Sisters they do it a little differently – it’s the Twelve Littles of Christmas.

We have Curtis, Desiree, Dustin, Kaiden, Kiana, Alyvia, Elijah, Seth and Aria. And what do they want for Christmas this year? – a big brother or big sister. They are twelve different children with one simple wish. These are just a few of the thousands of kids across Kansas on the waiting list for a big brother or big sister.

Some kids like twelve-year-old Curtis just want someone to hang out with. Others like Seth, have more precise requirements.

"Some one who is eighteen and energetic and plays five sports!"

These kids will surprise you. They are funny, smart and see so many possibilities for the future.
