Stand by Amanda: 23 Years of Service

Amanda Kolby has dedicated over 20 years of her life to special education, working tirelessly in administrative and leadership roles. Her commitment to advocating for students with disabilities has left a lasting impact on several school districts. Families and colleagues alike respect her dedication and her no-nonsense approach to ensuring the best outcomes for students. Armed with 2 Masters Degrees, a label-maker, and a delightfully wicked sense of humor, she brought real connections to the students who needed an advocate, families that needed support, and teachers that needed inspiration.

Now, Amanda faces a personal battle with terminal stomach cancer. As she undergoes experimental chemotherapy and treatments, she is unable to work consistently. Despite her own challenges, Amanda's spirit remains strong, but the financial burden of medical bills is overwhelming.

After giving so much of herself to advance programs and support the personal development of those with disabilities, Amanda is in desperate need of funds to cover her medical expenses. Your support can make a significant difference in her life, allowing her to focus on her health and well-being during this difficult time. By coming together, we can help Amanda navigate this challenging journey and show her the same compassion she has shown to so many others.
