Jamond is a hardworking and compassionate young man who has overcome many challenges while working toward building a better future for himself. Growing up, he was raised in the home of a close friend of his birth mother, where he learned the importance of resilience and perseverance. During his teenage years, Jamond faced several struggles, including time spent in a rehabilitation program and periods of depression. Despite these challenges, he has worked hard to turn his life around. Today, Jamond has secured employment and has taken the important step of moving into a place of his own. As an adult, Jamond has also begun reconnecting with several siblings from his father’s side of the family. One of the most difficult moments in his life was the loss of the sister he was closest to, who sadly passed away after battling cancer. Although this loss was deeply painful, Jamond continues to move forward with strength and determination. Jamond has a generous heart and enjoys helping others whenever he can. In the winter, he often shovels snow for neighbors and refuses to accept payment, simply wanting to make their day easier. In his free time, he enjoys playing video games with friends and spending time outdoors. Jamond has personal goals for his future and hopes to continue working toward earning his GED so he can create more opportunities for himself. Those who know Jamond describe him as someone with a truly kind heart who is always willing to help others.

Jamond recently had some car issues. He replaced the battery and started the car. Jamond took the car in for a routine check. During this inspection, Jamond was told of several items that required some attention in his vehicle. With his recent car problems, he has missed some work, and unfortunately, the cost exceeds his budget. Jamond is asking for a gift card to help him buy the filter and brake pads for his Kia. Jamond will be able to replace the filter and the brakes on his own, as he learned to replace the brakes from his father. Jamond would save some money by completing some of these things himself.
