Diamond

For 16 years, Diamond was a Showgirl in the Jubilee show. She invested her money into a home and two small businesses. When her husband died, she learned that he hadn’t paid his bills and she lost all of her properties. Diamond moved to LA to start fresh with a job in a medical office. Then she had a stroke and lost eyesight in one eye. When she left the hospital, she ended up on Skid Row. With the outbreak of COVID, she moved into a Project Roomkey motel that had mold and other issues, resulting in her being hospitalized again. The care she received from the hospital staff motivated her to return to nursing. She was the fourth resident to move into the Project Homekey in El Monte and has been studying for her exams in May.
