Guy Pepe, A Man of Faith
When New Jersey-based plumber and entrepreneur Guy Pepe is not leading the day-to-day work of his small business or tapping out a beat behind his drums during an impromptu jam session with his two granddaughters, he spends his time in deep devotion to his faith.
Charity comes in many forms. For Pepe, who has been a faithful supporter of AFB over the years, it is rooted in the fundamental origin of the word charity: “Caritas,” the Ancient Greek term given to gifts from the heart. And Pepe believes that his call to serve the blind is fostered by a burning desire in his heart fueled by his faith.
“I believe that Jesus Christ my Lord put it on my heart to help the lives of people who are blind or visually impaired,” said Pepe. “I know that my donations help with opportunities for people with visual impairments such as education, digital tools, technologies, and employment.”
According to Pepe, his support of the organization has allowed him to meet many impressive voices from the community. AFB thanks Pepe for his continued support, along with all who give through a heartfelt call to service.
