Fund Joshua's Future: A Tribute to Roland
Donation protected
Hello...my name is Dan Engel. In the photo, I would like to introduce you to Roland Hankerson and his teenage son, Joshua. As you can see, they have a grand time together, and are tighter than tight.
Or should I say, they had a great time together for you see, Roland passed away unexpectedly on November 30th at the way too young age of 50.
Joshua now faces the challenges of growing into the man he will be without his father's ongoing guiding hand. A group of Roland's friends are trying to empower Joshua relative to funding his post high school education. The funds collected will be distributed via the oversight of Joshua's mother, Jennifer.
Allow me to let Joshua tell his own story...
"Hi, my name is Joshua Hankerson. I am 16 years old and a junior in high school. Growing up with my Dad, I was always surrounded by art and music, which played a huge part in shaping who I am today. From performing in musicals to small parts in a few independent movies, I have developed a deep passion for the arts...while following in my Dad's footsteps.
Now as I prepare for my future, I'm actively pursuing music and exploring fashion design as potential college majors. My Dad always encouraged me to chase my dreams and instilled in me a strong work ethic. His biggest hope for me - and my goal for myself - is to excel in whatever path I choose, with the love and support of my family and friends."
Roland was an accomplished man in many ways, but that did not include any financial wherewithal. Joshua is indeed a young man of great promise, and I pray that you will help him on his journey of discovery by contributing as best you can.
