I’m reaching out on behalf of one of our colleagues, Kenny Tavarez. Kenny is part of our Apprentice Rotational Program. After spending his senior year here with us for the Work Based Learning program, Kenny graduated this past June and joined us full time this summer. He's been a wonderful addition to our team here, bringing an infectious positive energy to all who have worked with him.

Last week, Kenny suffered an unimaginable tragedy, losing both of his parents under terrible circumstances. After graduating from high school just a few months ago, Kenny now faces the daunting reality of having to grow up fast and take care of both himself and his younger sisters. During this incredibly difficult time, we want to rally around Kenny and offer our support.

Kenny is a kind-hearted, hardworking person who always brings positivity to those around him. As he faces this heartbreaking loss, we are starting this GoFundMe to help ease some of the financial burdens he now has, allowing him to focus on healing and caring for his two younger sisters.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping Kenny and his sisters during this painful journey. We also encourage you to forward this GoFundMe to anyone you see fit. Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
