“When I was four years old, my life changed. My father was killed. My mother had to deal with her grief and the grief of her children – and I had to grow up fast. I remember specifically living in a townhouse one day and an apartment the next. Until I entered the 5th grade, we bounced around schools and I never knew if there would be food on the table or clean clothes.”

Azaria currently attends the University of Cincinnati and is continuing to have an impact with the Foundation and her community.
