Evans experienced significant hardships throughout his childhood, which is why the foundation also supports women and families battling domestic violence.
“I wanted to start a foundation for a while now, and we are finally getting it done. We are focusing on helping kids who do not have the funds to go to college – kids that come from low-income families that worked really hard to apply for college and got in, but need financial assistance.”

“If I wouldn’t have had a scholarship to go college, then I probably wouldn’t have went or I’d probably be in debt if I did, so I wanted to help as much as possible in that aspect.
“Secondly, I want to focus on women and families that suffer from domestic violence because I grew up in a household with domestic violence and I know how hard that can be,” Evans said on the official website.
Evans’ childhood history has a lot to do with how he has grown into a disciplined and mature professional. He saw his uncle murder his father who was an alcoholic at the tender age of 9. His dad used to periodically abuse and physically assault his mom right since birth.
