Thanks for help in difficult year

I want to thank everybody from my heart who supported me through everything that has happened this year, especially those who came to my fundraiser and those who donated to my fund at Elgin High School. You have made it possible for me to go after my dreams of being an architect.

Because of your kindness, there are more opportunities available for me. I can never thank everyone enough.

None of this would have happened if it wasn’t for my wonderful English teacher, Mr. Gallery, and his wife. They should be applauded for all they have done for me. They really got the community together to support me. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

There are so many to thank who contributed to my fund that I can’t list them all, but a special thank you to the following: Elgin’s The Wisdom Foundation; Mike Franquelli and Elgin Lanes; Steve Martin of Mobility Works in Villa Park; Jeffrey Schmidt of American Bank & Trust Co. of St. Charles; Tim Coffaro and Barak Business Services Inc. of Bensenville; Thumbuddy Special; Epping Foundation; American Highway; Mike Purcell and The McNamara-Purcell Foundation; Trendler; Chris Griffin and family; Glen Schneider and family; Murat Alper and family; Rotary Club of Elgin; Larry Strohmaier of Motorola Inc.; Ron Lange; Adam “Buddha” Lavey of Pappageorge Haymes Partners; The “Parish Ringers” of Our Lady of Wayside Church in Arlington Heights; Siegel, Moses & Schoenstadt P.C.; and David Ferrino.
