I think of my mother, Alice Wallace, often. She was taken from us far too soon and her loving memory lingers in my heart. Words will never fully describe the emptiness I feel, not having my best friend at my side, watching over me with me pride and protective instincts. Not a day passes that I don’t recall her valuable advice or that I’m not inspired by her strength. She fought a long, painful battle against Diabetes, and up until her final breath was never overcome by pity or sorrow nor did she ever display a moment of weakness. My mother radiated with beauty and a power from within that in my eyes will never be duplicated. Despite our differences she remains the paradigm of true maternal grace and elegance a powerful force with a heart of gold.
My mother, a successful and very well respected teacher stressed the value of family, God, community involvement and education. The furtherance of this discipline is also an important part of my life. I have grown into the person I am today, because I come from a family of hard working, accomplished professionals. In order to encourage our new generation to embrace the importance of core values, I along with my brothers, sisters and close friends have established The Alice Wallace Foundation, a fund dedicated to helping our youth achieve the greatness within, by offering them an opportunity to pursue a quality of life I was afforded as a youth. I know, just by the relationships I have built in my personal life, this is a cause that is dear to so many of us. That said I would be honored if you joined us in building The Alice Wallace Foundation into a powerful vehicle that drives the ambition of budding young minds. To contribute to the fund please email me at carlos@sol-caritas.com. Together we can change the life of so many deserving young people for the better. Thank you for helping us keep her dream alive.
My Deepest Gratitude,
Carlos Wallace
