Having experienced cancer treatment, I’m aware of the impact that small gestures of kindness can have on patients and their loved ones.

2024

​​As a single teenage mother, Trisha Williams had to balance parenthood and her academic aspirations. She overcame obstacles, demonstrating perseverance and adaptability. With unwavering commitment and strength, she transformed adversity into a catalyst for personal growth. 

In 2024, Trisha graduated from CSUN with a double major in real estate and marketing and is now pursuing an MBA at her alma mater.
