Celebrating Resilience, Strength & Achievement!
On May 2, 2025, we had the honor of attending the 10th Annual Eddie Nash Foundation Resiliency Awards—a beautiful evening recognizing the courage and achievements of former foster youth across Orange County.
We are incredibly proud to celebrate Kim Dieth, Fullerton College FYSI alum and Concordia University graduate, who returned as a guest speaker to share her inspiring journey.
And a special shoutout to two of our amazing FYSI students:
Fernis Fernandez – Honorable Mention Award
Jocelyn Valentin Perez – Honorable Mention Award
Your strength, resilience, and brilliance continue to shine. We see you, we celebrate you, and we’re cheering you on always!
