Bright and ambitious, Prisma Reyes was determined to be the best she could be.

After moving to the Dallas area from Veracruz, Mexico, as a young girl, Reyes became fluent in English in a single summer. She earned a scholarship to attend a math-and-science magnet school, and after graduation she joined the National Guard and became a paralegal.

When her son Dominic was born in 2014, she became a mother focused on raising her son.

“She’s always striving to better her life for my grandson,” says Daniel Fuchs, 55, Reyes' stepfather who raised her since she was 5.
