Diana’s story is one of resilience, redemption, and relentless determination.

From a childhood shaped by poverty and addiction to becoming a young mother at 16, the odds were stacked against her. She faced homelessness, lost custody of her daughter, and battled addiction. But her lowest moment became the turning point that changed everything.

Today, Diana is eight years sober, a proud mom of three, and thriving. She earned her GED during the pandemic, achieved a 4.0 GPA, and is now accepted into the Registered Nursing Program at Athens Technical College, all while working two jobs and caring for her family.

Through the support of the Ashton Hope Keegan Foundation, Diana was given the opportunity to continue her education and pursue a future she once thought was out of reach.

Now, she’s giving back. Coaching youth, inspiring others in recovery, and working toward a career in public health to help those walking a path she knows all too well.
✨ Because of you, stories like Diana’s are possible.
✨ Because of you, hope becomes reality.

Join us at the Hope Gala and be part of stories like this. Your support through donations and ticket purchases helps change lives.

At AHKF, scholarships are only one part of the story.

Through partnerships with local educational programs, university students, volunteers, and community leaders, we are helping women prepare for what comes next with confidence.

Our Career Readiness Workshop brought together AHKF, UGA MBA students, UGA Marketing students, and our educational partners to provide hands-on training in resume preparation, cover letters, interview skills, professional dress, and workplace readiness.

This is what hope in action looks like: real people, real conversations, and real tools that help women move forward.
Your support helps make moments like this possible. Learn more about the Ashton Hope Keegan Foundation and how you can be part of the work.
