Deremiah CPE* Has the Impact Factor

By Ken McArthur

Ever meet anyone who could make a real difference if only someone would notice?

Meet Deremiah *CPE
Deremiah spent the early part of his life on the South Side of Chicago. Born into a black culture with a Jewish name with strong European cultural overtones, He lived in thirteen cities in the United States and two in Europe.

Deremiah says that living in Europe after coming out of the Chicago Housing Projects is like being Eddie Murphy in the movie "Trading Places".

By living in diverse communities Deremiah strengthened his appreciation for humanity and his tolerance for people across cultures, places, music and religions.

Eventually, Deremiah and his family were able to settle in Oklahoma, where he became a rising young star on the football field, headed for the state championships. Life was feeling good for the young teenager.

Unfortunately life wasn't perfect. His mother was having emotional struggles, which didn't help her marriage. After she came out of the hospital - the victim of yet another nervous break down - she ended up in divorce court.

In Oklahoma they ask the child which parent they want to stay with and Deremiah was forced into a "Solomon type" decision to choose between his parents.

Deremiah decided to stand by his Momma. With her emotional problems, she needed his support.

That's where the struggle began.

His emotionally troubled mother decided that they needed to move to the South side of Chicago.

As Deremiah tells this story tears still well up in his eyes years later as he is forced to face the tragedy again and again in his mind.

Imagine having to leave all of your friends during your junior year in High School without even saying goodbye. Most of the friendships were five years in the making and some of his friends still don't know what happened.

Deremiah had disappeared off the planet.

Coming out of poverty, moving into middle income America to be jerked back into living below the poverty level is quite painful.

In Deremiah's case, it was coupled with gang violence, welfare, government cheese and a move to one of the wildest high schools on Chicago's South Side.

Struggling with depression and crying profusely for weeks on end Deremiah lost hope in everything including his self.

His dreams were destroyed. It seemed he had nothing to live for and with his father now stationed on the other side of the planet and his mother still struggling to maintain her emotional stability Deremiah gave up.

He no longer wanted to live.

And then Deremiah changed.

Deremiah found his faith and his hope for the future was replaced with a bigger mission to help hurting children and Deremiah has been reaching out ever since to at-risk children and making a difference in their lives.

Right now, Deremiah is trying to help children who like himself have given up only to find out that someone loves them enough to point their feet in the right direction.

That's why Deremiah is determined to raise $100 Million dollars for at-risk children.

Amazing story isn't it.

And there is so much more that I could tell you about Deremiah. The people that met Deremiah at jvAlert Live in Philadelphia know first hand how amazing he is.
