Krista D. Ford was an aged-out foster child who became exceptional in the sale of cosmetics through direct sales with BeautiControl. Despite her lack of a support system and the challenges she faced throughout her childhood, she was able to create a life of success and happiness. Krista was an amazing woman of strong faith in the Lord Jesus. Through Him she created a life of joyful success with a great sense of humor. She helped people in need with a compassionate heart locally and internationally.
This scholarship seeks to honor the life of Krista D. Ford by supporting individuals who aspire to improve their lives and help others.
