For DeAndre

DeAndre came to us in November, 2018 through the Center for Youth as an intern.  He worked his way into the fabric of our company - learning, doing, moving forward and climbing mountains.  We are raising money for his family to help with his end needs in this life.

This past Monday he left us so unexpectedly.  He spent the day working and was home with his mom when he had his life violently taken from him.  

We have no words to explain the loss we are all feeling.  He meant so many positive things to so many people.  He was a young man who was making a path for himself.  Working, learning a trade, starting his own embroidery business and much much more.  He was an inspiration to other young people who identified with his life - he was an inspiration to those he chose outreach from.  

As a team, we are grieving and at a complete loss.  There will always be a space that can't be filled because of his passing. 

Please consider donating to help his family place him to rest and move through this very difficult time!

This is DeAndre speaking at a youth conference this year - confident, articulate, amazing young public speaker!
