🎉 Join us in celebrating Avalonia - a mother who wanted more for herself and her family!
Avalonia had her first son when she was a freshman in high school and dropped out in her junior year to work and support her child. She worked as a General Manager at Taco Bell for many years, but she knew she wanted more for herself and her six children.
She started her HiSET journey in 2020, and after a few seasons of life, she passed all of her exams! She crossed the stage in South Louisiana Community College's spring graduation ceremony and plans to continue her education through nursing or criminal justice 💙
Avalonia, your positivity and love for your family are truly inspiring. We are so proud of you!
To our community: YOU made this possible. Your donations are so much more than items. They're second chances, and Avalonia is proof 🫶
