Mentor Chris and Youth Titus, have been matched for 2 years now. Chris has been a consistently caring and positive role model for Titus who lives with his Aunty and three cousins in a humble neighborhood on Kaua'i. Chris takes his role seriously, as he is a dependable and honest mentor. He is easy to communicate with and has been proven to be a stable, responsible, dedicated, loving person with integrity and a huge heart. He is adored by both Titus and his Aunty. Mahalo Chris!
