WHITCOMB | FROM PAGE 10 weren’t enough,” she says. ing to college and managing your work and studying and free time,” she says. Diana has done well at achieving that balance. She has a work-study job in the Navigators Food Pantry in University Crossing, volunteers once a week at a Lowell food pantry through an Honors College initiative and sews costumes for the Off-Broadway Players, a student theater group. She loves helping others, because she knows what it’s like to struggle. “We were on food stamps growing up, and we went to food pantries sometimes when the food stamps “Anybody who knew my mom and had older kids would give us hand-medown clothes and toys – even our teachers.” Collette and Diana live one floor apart in Riverview Suites, and they often eat meals or study together, since they’re both taking core health sciences classes including Human Anatomy and Physiology. Andrew also lives on South Campus and runs into his sisters at least once a week. The four siblings have a private chat group and stay up to date on each other’s plans. Andrew’s work-study job also overlaps with Diana’s. He spends half his time in the food pantry and the rest asking students to donate meal swipes to help out others struggling with food insecurity. Maureen says that raising quadruplets is financially challenging. But now, three of the four are at UMass Lowell, and things are looking up. Once her four children are “settled,” Maureen hopes to return to school again, this time for her bachelor’s degree. Her dream is to earn it here through online and evening classes in time to graduate with her children. “I’m so lucky to have them here,” she says, tearing up. “All my investment is in them.” Nobody was home when the fire started at about 5 pm, according to official reports. Firefighting crews from Lynn, Malden and Everett responded to the fire scene. Cause of the fire is under investigation, fire officials said. They said there were no injuries reported. The building is valued at $216,000, according to assessing records at Saugus Town Hall. THIS WEEK ON SAUGUS TV Sunday, May 14 from 9–11 pm. on Channel 8 – “Sunday Night Stooges” (The Three Stooges).
