Meet Kemberly; our 3rd DACA Scholarship winner:
When I was three years old, my sister Geraldyne was two and my brother Bryan four we moved to United States with parents’ from Colombia. We came here with a visa, but unfortunately we stayed here longer than expected. Our visa got expired and became labeled as aliens to the government.

Growing up as an undocumented child was very difficult. My family and I went through many hardships. Such as learning two languages Spanish & English at the same time, having to repeat kindergarten because teachers assumed I was mentally retarded, being put into E.S.L for 5 years, moving a lot, and my parents going through a variety of low class jobs causing us to go through many humiliating circumstances and financial needs.

Make the DACA Scholarship Possible for Another Deserving DREAMer: Donate $25 to Support the DACA Fund

We are excited to be able to award Kemberly with this scholarship and look forward to finding other amazing DREAMers
