“I’m going to snowboard again. I’m going to be back in the gym as soon as possible, even if it’s in a wheelchair at first. I’m going to be doing everything and more than before. I’m going to have a success story. And with all of this, I want to help people. I grew up my whole life wanting to help people, and now I know I can do that. I’m fighting though this with all that I have inside of me. Anyways it’s just a body… I’m still Amanda.” – January 2018

“I need help as I strive to achieve my goal. I will need physical therapy, adaptable home improvements, alternative therapies, a modified car so that I can retain some of my independence, ext… For that I will need to raise funds for those items and things I haven’t even thought about yet. Help is so greatly appreciated.”- Jan 2018

So it’s been almost a year since the snowboarding accident on January 11th 2018. One year of learning to live life in a wheelchair, learning doing simple everyday tasks, and most importantly teaching my legs how to stand/walk again. I have made great progress in this time, but there is definitely a long was to go still. My whole life drastically changed. I do lots of physical therapy, and many alternative therapies that have helped my progress.

Living with a spinal cord injury is more expensive than I thought, all the prices of daily life with this injury add up. My mom had to leave her job to take care of me on top of it. (My mom is amazing) Unfortunately, treatments, and therapies, and other expenses are not covered by insurance. We would be grateful for everyone’s help. Any amount donated is so greatly appreciated and will go towards helping me walk again. Even the littlest bit helps.

To help ease the financial burden on my family, a fundraising campaign in my honor has been established with Help Hope Live. You are able to make a tax-deductible donation to help me walk again. All donations are held by Help Hope Live and are only to be used for medically-related expenses.

I believe that with the help from new advance treatments, alternative therapies, and the power of the mind, and most importantly the grace of God.. My body will heal, and I will be walking. Again, thank you SO much. So much love to everyone who has helped me and is continuing to support me. The feeling of support helps me so much.
