Amber & Jon

Amber and Jon are volunteers for Big Brothers-Big Sisters, in Center City Philadelphia, and this year, they are attending the annual Big City Ball, where all the proceeds will support the organization.

Despite their low-income, this selfless couple feels connected to the struggles that their community experiences. "I would rather impact my community by having direct contact with someone who really needs it, versus say, protesting against the war," claims Amber.

This philanthropic couple is struggling to get by on Amber's measley allowance, but they desperately want to attend the annual fundraiser looking like the humanitarian ambassadors they are!
