Amanda McDaniel Fund Announced
As you are aware, Doreen Dykhuisen's niece, Amanda, passed away recently. She found out recently that "Limbs of Love" has announced the Amanda McDaniel Fund that will be used to fund a scholarship. Below are excerpts from an email from the founder of Limbs of Love.
"...Limbs of Love announced the Amanda McDaniel Fund. Every year, Limbs of Love will choose a child or children who will be the recipients of a scholarship, not for a new limb, but a scholarship to participate in some activity they love, whether it is cheerleading or dancing like Amanda, or softball or art classes, or whatever it is the amputee would like to be able to accomplish. This will be a nationally publicized scholarship with entries from all over the country."
"...And as long as Limbs of Love is in existence and we are helping amputees, Amanda's smile, and Amanda's name will live on every time the Amanda McDaniel fund is mentioned. But to those lucky recipients who receive the gift of a scholarship they will always remember the spiritual founder and the reason for their gift- Amanda McDaniel. And it is my hope that there will be amputee athletes and amputees participating activities that makes their lives complete and more enjoyable all over the country that will never forget Amanda, because her spirit and her smile lives on, and she is the reason for the activity and lifestyle that they now enjoy."
