Hello, I'm truly grateful for being chosen as the recipient of the Hazel Joy Memorial Scholarship. It means so much to me to be recognized in connection with Hazel Joy's legacy, and I am honored to carry on her memory through this scholarship. Your generosity is lifting a significant weight from my shoulders and allows me to focus more deeply on my education and personal growth. With your support, I can continue my studies and pursue my dream of becoming a firefighter while working toward a business administration degree. My goal is to rise through the ranks and save lives, making a real difference for families in need. After losing my little brother in such a tragic accident, the grief and challenges to move forward have been so difficult. I know firsthand how profound the loss of a young life can be and how it changes a family forever. Your foundation’s mission resonates deeply with me, and I am inspired by your commitment to offering hope and help to those who need it most. The encouragement and support you provide are truly a source of strength as I move forward with my education and service to my community. Thank you for your kindness and for believing in my potential. I hope to honor Hazel Joy’s legacy and pay your generosity forward throughout my life. Sending so much love to you and your family. I'm sure Evan and Hazel are looking over all of us and happy to see their lives remembered and honored. Thank you, Jonathan Fuentes
