John M. Bourque, Founder and CEO of Bourque Industries, has launched his non-profit Kryron Foundation, which will provide fine arts funding for underprivileged Tucson youth, with a gift to Andres Gallegos, a very special young musician who spends much of his life caring for his blind mother who has multiple sclerosis. Gallegos was given a professional drum set to replace the badly worn instruments he had been playing for several years.

The 16 year-old drummer's life was recently transformed when his stepfather, who had been married to his mother for 11 years, was deported six months ago. Since then, Andres and his younger sister have been left with the primary responsibility of caring for their mother, who needs assistance bathing, clothing, and washing herself on a daily basis.

Bourque's cousin, Mike McCafferey, a professional musician who has managed and played with several major national musical acts, was on hand to deliver the drumset to Gallegos at his home near La Cholla High School.

“It's hard to imagine a more deserving young person than Andres,” said John M. Bourque, Founder of the Kryron Foundation and Bourque Industries. “The dedication that he shows to his family and to his music is an inspiration. Andres has had a lot of things go against him, it's incredibly rewarding to be a part of something positive in his life.”

Andres comes from a musical family. His uncle played drums with Richie Valens, but quit the band partially because of his mother's concerns about the safety of aviation in the early days of air travel. Valens was later killed in a plane crash in Iowa with other musicians.

Andres believes this gift will help him pursue his dream of playing music professionally. “Every member of my band is very committed. We've been writing songs and we rehearse all the time,” said Gallegos.

For Bourque, it's more about giving Gallegos a positive outlet and a way to stay off the streets.

“So many kids end up on the streets joining gangs because they don't have something that they love to keep them occupied and doing the right things,” said Bourque. “Andres is a good kid with a bright future and helping him with his music will help him be a better student and a more productive adult, no matter what career he ends up choosing.”
