Meet the Team

Daughter, mother, friend, and mentor—Jinky Diaz was born and raised in the Philippines, immersed in a rich culture rooted in family and community. Her dream was for others to experience the same opportunities. When she moved to the United States as a legal immigrant, she faced the many challenges of starting over in a new country. Yet, her purpose outweighed her hardships, and each obstacle became a chance for growth. Her resilience and determination eventually enabled her to bring her mother and three children to join her. But the journey didn’t end there. Today, Jinky a cat mom is an entrepreneur and mortgage loan consultant, a devoted mother of three, and a caregiver to her own mother. She is also a survivor of domestic violence, drawing on her experiences to support those in need. With firsthand knowledge of life’s struggles, she’s dedicated to giving back to the community that offered her hope and opportunity. With over a decade of volunteer work and fundraising efforts for nonprofits that support women, children, and veterans, Jinky has helped countless families achieve their dreams. Inspired by this work, she founded Hopefelt, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to fostering loving, supportive environments for children and families. She believes that positivity and compassion are the foundations of a thriving community. Through Hopefelt, Inc., Jinky is committed to creating a brighter world, one act of kindness at a time.
