Support For Tatiana and Her Family

From Tatiana:

"If you do not know me I am Tatiana McAllister, I play trombone in the William Penn Marching Band, and cymbals in indoor drumline. I am graduating this year, and am hoping to continue my education next year at the University of Delaware as a Three Language Major in hopes of becoming a translator.

My father, Jeffrey Marc McAllister, passed away suddenly a few weeks ago at the age of 45. I was his only child. His passing has caused my family great grief, and the passing happening so sudden has placed us in a very hard financial situation.

Dad was a William Penn alumni from the class of 1997, and was so proud that I would soon be a William Penn graduate as well.

I have only been a member of the music department for the past two years, but I know that have found my home here. It is very hard for me to ask this, but times are very tough for us. If you could help us in this tough time I would be incredibly grateful."

I am Kenyon Grimes, one of Tatiana's teachers and coach at William Penn. Tati is a hard worker and a good person, and I'm hoping that whoever may come across this will help in any way. We can all sympathize with loss, please assist Tatiana and her family during these trying times.

All donations go directly to the family, and do not pass through my hands.
