Foundation helps Gold Star children earn college degrees

The success stories of the foundation are evident, when you look at Jervon Lemon. She graduated from South Carolina State University — debt free — with a bachelor’s degree in psychology in December 2010. Shortly after, she attended South University and received her master’s degree in professional counseling. She now enjoys a career working as the scholarship administrator at Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation.
