Elisa Gano (Queen of Diamonds, Arizona)

The Deck

Our card this week is Elisa Gano, the Queen of Diamonds from Arizona.

At just 30 years old, Elisa had already lived a lifetime of ups and downs. She often found herself experiencing homelessness while battling her own personal demons. All the while struggling to be a mother to five children. Despite her difficulties, Elisa’s family felt she would come out on the other side. The problem is she never got that chance.
