</div>

<div>For more than a decade, Amanda Whatley has lived her life on the front lines of generosity and danger — using her voice, her faith, and her extraordinary gift as a world-renowned auctioneer to raise millions for others while asking nothing for herself.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Amanda’s artistry on the auction stage has fueled hope across continents. Her work has supported safe houses, children’s programs, veterans, cancer initiatives, animal rescue missions, and humanitarian relief efforts around the world. Her impact is measurable, transformational, and deeply documented:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Funds Raised Through Amanda’s Auctioneering

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>• Yellow Rose Gala – funds for MS research

</div>

<div>• Foster Care Counts

</div>

<div>• Big Dog Ranch Rescue

</div>

<div>• Camp V

</div>

<div>• Wounded Warriors

</div>

<div>• Texas Lawyers for Children

</div>

<div>• Child Protection Connection

</div>

<div>• Black Eyed Pea Foundation

</div>

<div>• Athens Country Club charitable programs

</div>

<div>• Bella Hampton Farms

</div>

<div>• AIDS Resource Center

</div>

<div>• …and dozens of additional nonprofit partners whose work has been strengthened by her leadership and voice.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Global Humanitarian Work

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Beyond the spotlight, Amanda has served as a humanitarian filmmaker in Middle Eastern war zones, documenting hidden stories of displacement, persecution, and survival. She personally helped set up safe houses in Armenia and Africa, often using her own funds to protect women and children fleeing violence.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Even today, Amanda still receives calls from families in the Middle East begging for help — because Amanda has always been someone who answers, even when it puts her in harm’s way.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The Attack &amp; Its Aftermath

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>During one of her humanitarian deployments, Amanda was brutally attacked, resulting in a traumatic brain injury. She ultimately sought refuge in the very kind of safe house she had been helping to build for others.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Though she returned home alive, Amanda’s health rapidly declined. Environmental exposures in conflict regions — combined with years of toxic chemicals in aviation work and the immunological strain documented in her medical records — triggered a cascade of severe medical complications.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Medical Findings

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>(Summarized from the Environmental Health Center – Dallas report, Nov 18, 2025) ￼

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Under specialist supervision, Amanda has been diagnosed with:

</div>

<div>• Abnormal ANA levels associated with autoimmune disease (SLE, Scleroderma, Sjögren’s)

</div>

<div>• Significantly elevated Trichothecene mycotoxins (Stachybotrys-related)

</div>

<div>• Elevated environmental pollutants: Xylene, Toluene, Benzene, Styrene, Phthalates, Parabens

</div>

<div>• Low venous oxygenation requiring intensive oxygen therapy

</div>

<div>• Severe inflammatory responses requiring immunotherapy, desensitization, and heavy-metal detoxification

</div>

<div>• High risk for advancing autoimmune disease and neurological decline

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Her physicians have ordered extensive treatment protocols that Amanda cannot currently afford — including 18-day oxygen therapy, ALFO immunotherapy, provocation/neutralization testing, detoxification, and trauma-specific neurological care.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Her Personal Financial Sacrifice

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Even while her health was deteriorating, Amanda invested $100,000 of her own money into Shoot Out Violence, a documentary created to raise funds for children affected by violence. She never expected repayment. She simply believed the work mattered.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Her Faith &amp; Her Fight

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Through every attack, every diagnosis, every loss, and every request for help that still arrives from the war zones she once served, Amanda has held fiercely to her faith in Christ. She continues to give, to encourage, and to believe that miracles still happen.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Today, the woman who has raised millions for others needs support of her own.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Why This GoFundMe Exists

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Amanda’s medical conditions are serious, complex, and treatable with the right care. The required therapies are specialized and costly, and she cannot navigate this alone. Every gift — no matter the size — helps her access the treatment that can restore her health, stabilize her neurological systems, and allow her to return to the work she was born to do.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Amanda has spent her life fighting for others.

</div>

<div><strong>Now we fight for her .</strong>
