Adan Gonzalez – Executive Director – Puede Network

 

When Adan Gonzalez was a high school senior, he got a full ride to Georgetown University. When he arrived at the airport to go to school his bags were overweight. He could not pay the overweight fees on his luggage, so he had to put his belongings in trash bags. He arrived at Georgetown with trash bags in hand. He says it was that moment that inspired him to create the Puede Network. 

Gonzalez, a first-generation college student himself, launched a luggage drive in 2012. His organization provides new luggage to students who are going to college and can't afford them. He has given away thousands of suitcases to students in Texas, and that's not all. In fact, it's just the beginning of his work.
