About This Match:

The Mentee

Pat has been one of Isaac’s biggest supporters. He helped Isaac get the equipment he needed for football and basketball, helped him figure out transportation to get to and from practices, and Pat attends close to every single one of his games! Pat also helps keep in touch with his school guidance counselors, teachers, and coaches to make sure he’s succeeding.

The Mentor

“I think Isaac and I sort of fill in the holes in each other’s lives. Being retired with both of my girls grown and settled has afforded me the time to be able to do more. I really believe that part of our purpose on earth is to make life a little less difficult for others, and that has always been important to me and something that I will continue to do in my later years. Each game that I attend I am always struck by the fact that I have never once seen his mom or dad at a game and then realize that I have become part of Isaac’s family. I often tell Isaac that I don’t know how or why fate brought us together, but I’m sure glad that it did. He doesn’t disagree!” – Pat
