When The Washington Post published a profile Friday of Monica Diaz, a fast-food restaurant employee simultaneously navigating the homeless and working worlds, Howard University law student Gabriela Sevilla immediately got to work. Sevilla, a 25-year-old intern with the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless, first met Diaz and Etheridge on Feb. 28. Here was a woman just like her — a Latina raised by immigrants, who’d never had much in her life. “In every aspect, she’s everything for me.”Meanwhile, Sevilla maintained her normal responsibilitiesat work and home:“My day: Visited Monica & Pete,” she tweeted Tuesday.
