A trip to buy groceries to help Diamond while she works hard at school

Posted Jul 20, 2017
Diamond no longer receives any of the state based aid programs for their living expenses while in college. Summer is also a difficult time for our students as their financial aid runs out in June. She is currently working as a summer intern in hopes to land a long term career . She is struggling financially and would be very grateful for a food card to help her with groceries.

Diamond is 30 years old and lives in CA

Diamond is a former foster youth and a recent college graduate. Diamond was also a former student-athlete where she played basketball, she is an amazing athlete and earned varsity letters as a division one athlete three years in a row as a walk-on. Diamond is now entering the job market and has an internship lined up. Diamond also volunteers as a coach for a girls basketball team in the area. Diamond enjoys giving back to younger girls and spending time on the basketball court. Whether it be playing or coaching, the basketball court is her getaway from the day-to-day stress of life. Diamond has a fighting spirit and wants to continue to do good work in her community.
