IN DESPERATE NEED OF ALUMNI ASSISTANCE

Greetings Esteemed Art & Design Alumni,

Because of extreme difficulties it has taken me this long to properly reach out and thank those of you that graciously contributed to the GoFund Me page last year devoted to saving the sculptural life's work of Master Ben A. Gonzales (my Dad) from oblivion. Your prayers, donations, and unwavering support allowed me to place a significant portion of the Horses of Mayon in a secure storage facility which ultimatly prevented them from the real threat of being destroyed. Even in adverse circumstances, the Alumni represents the spirit of what my Dad stood for; the unmistakable integrity of our sacred institution; The High School of Art & Design.

I have sought to protect my Dad's work at all cost. Unfortunately I'm not out of the woods yet with the continued trauma of eviction proceedings against me; which leaves me until August 31st to vacate my home of 18 years. Today I ask and pray for any consideration (with a revamped GoFund Me page) that will contribute to the process of relocation; and the fantastic new horizon that will allow me to leave my residence with dignity and respect; and eventually restore my Dad's sculptures.

Sincerely,

From GUY (son of Master Ben A. Gonzales)
