Secure The Kid Eric Frye

Hello good people my name is Eric Frye and I’m the founder of SecureTheKid! I’m from the inner city of Pittsburgh Pa. I recently graduated from Clarion University with a bachelors degree in Business. When I’m not working I love volunteering in my community, local schools and neighborhood recreation centers. Every chance I get to talk with kids I emphasize on the importance of education. My upbringing was challenging, to say the least I was raised with 4 siblings in a single parent home. Early on I was introduced to sports and developed a passion for playing the game of football. I faced near death experiences several times throughout my 26 years of living. I was in a devastating car crash, I suffered a severe concussion playing football in college and I just recently broke 2 bones on my spine which is the “T4-T-5”. Through the grace of God I’ve made a full recovery each time. My long term goal is to develop a youth center focused on education, career building, and preparing kids for college and entrepreneurial success. I was blessed with an opportunity to teach in the Pittsburgh Public School District this past year. This fundraiser will enable me to keep delivering free lunches and educational materials to kids which will inspire their interests in technology, political science, patent law and financial literacy and much more. The funds will also be used to deliver free essential care packages to hundreds of families through out the city and surrounding areas! Kids in our inner-cities face many deterrents that hinder their ability to become high achievers and productive citizens. I want to change the narrative and provide easily accessible quality programming and overall support. “Secure the kid”will strive to become one of the top youth development centers in Pittsburgh, Pa first before expanding nationwide. With your support and donations, I will be one step closer to demonstrating leadership, dedication and discipline to our future leaders!
