Help Amanda: Rebuild Hope for the Squitieri-Bridel Family

Donation protected



Hello, I am organizing this fundraiser for my beautiful friend Amanda and her family. Those of you who are blessed to know her have undoubtedly been touched by her. You also know that she would never ask for herself, and it has taken me until now to even get her permission to support her.

Amanda is a pillar of compassion and resilience in our community. Known for her unwavering dedication to animals in need, she has rescued countless creatures, nursing them back to health, ready to be released. Amanda extends this same warmth to the students at our school, where she has become a beloved presence. She has an innate intuition to recognize need, pain, and fear. Her kindness knows no bounds, as she goes out of her way to support and uplift every child she encounters. Whether it’s a word of encouragement or affirmation, a warm smile, or a small act of generosity, Amanda’s care touches everyone she meets.

Recently, Amanda and her family faced an unimaginable loss when their home was destroyed in the devastating fires. Despite the heartbreak, Amanda’s positive spirit remains unshaken. She continues to inspire us all with her remarkable strength and optimism, finding light even in the darkest moments. Her beautiful smile and infectious laugh remind us that hope and love can prevail, no matter the challenges we face. Now is our chance to rally around Amanda and her family, just as she has done for so many of us. Let us come together to show her the same kindness and support she has so selflessly given to others. By helping Amanda rebuild her life, we not only honor her resilience but also affirm the unbreakable bond of community that she has worked so hard to nurture.



I think this video best describes the resilience and beauty of this family as they are determined to bring hope and a future for their children.
Please give as you can; any amount will be a valuable piece as they put their life together again. Please share with your loved ones.
