“It will as well provide their educational, career and emotionally support their parents. When we get the statistics ... years from now, we see a lot of these kids go off to College and start their own companies or give back to the community, things of that nature, will make us all proud," James said.
He added that: "Because that's what we're here for. We're a huge support group to these kids, we just want everything for them. Everything and more. So it's going to mean a lot to me."
