Mr. George Weiss
Say Yes to Education, Inc

Dear Mr. Weiss,

I wanted to be the first person to say “Thank You” for offering to pay for my daughter’s college tuition.

My husband and my daughter’s name is Rahima Torrence and she is a kindergarten student at the Bilingual Bicultural Mini School (BBMS) 182. Rahima is in Ms Sanchez-Prado’s class K-106. Ms. Andrea Hernandez is their principal. Her first month in kindergarten has been productive as well as successful.

What a tremendous blessing! My husband Raimundo Torrence, mother Mrs. Annie R. Petrus, grandmother Mrs. Helen D. Pinkney and other relatives are taken a back with this exceptionally overwhelming good news.

Words cannot express how you made me feel today at the Apollo Theater. I couldn’t believe my ears. A paid in full college scholarship to the school of her choice when she finishes high school. In addition, you will also help her sibling, Amirah Torrence 23 months old. Now that’s really good news. Thank you so very much.

When you were walking up the isle I knew I had to shake your hand and instead you gave me a hug. Wow! You are a true gift from God by giving back.
My family and I look forward to working with you in the near future.

Again thank you for blessings us today and tomorrow.

With tremendous joy,

Debbie Petrus-Torrence
