Kevin Suarez is a young man I have known all his life.

He is now venturing out into the world as he has just graduated from high school in the Bronx and will be going on to a local college here in New York. Kevin is active in his community, as an Usher and member of the Communications Ministry at his home church, Beulah Baptist Church. He is also "Youth of the Year" Ambassador at the Madison Square Boys and Girls Club. I have known Kevin since his birth, and his mother, for many, many years. However, in recent years, Kevin has been an active member of my Youth Ministry. He, and his mom, who has been deemed legally blind could really use our support in helping Kevin to pursue his future goals as a Cinema Studios major at the College of Staten Island. Immediate funds raised will specifically be used to secure his room and board and assist with items necessary for his dorm room, as well as any initial college entry fees involved. Whatever assistance you can give to this young man in pursuing his future goals will be a blessing and will be used for his college journey. Thank you in advance for your support.
