Mixing materials for Diamond to make her candles

Posted Jan 30, 2025
Diamond is excited to announce that she will be selling her candles at her booth at The Melrose Trading Post in Los Angeles! This bustling market attracts over 500 attendees, making it a fantastic opportunity for her. However, she needs support to purchase mixing materials to create more products for this event. This assistance would greatly benefit Diamond, as she currently lacks the funds to buy the necessary materials for the market. This will allow her to showcase her candles and make a lasting impression!

Diamond is 27 years old and lives in CA

Diamond spent years moving from place to place in foster care, craving safety and belonging. At 18 years old, when she aged out of the system, she became instantly homeless and spent five years transferring from shelter to shelter. She moved into her first affordable housing placement in 2020, and with her newfound safety and space, she discovered her passion for candle-making. That same year, she launched her own candle business called TheElevenShop and started selling her candles online. Diamond was one of the first-ever vendors at the Foster Youth Flea Market, where she sold out that same day! Her business gives a percentage back to other youth in the foster care system, and she dreams of one day owning her own transitional housing program for foster youth.
