Who Was Amanda

Amanda Luanne Mitchell was a vibrant, energetic, beautiful child.  When she was 11 years old, she was diagnosed with a form of bone cancer called Metastatic Osteosarcoma.  Amanda fought an inspirational fight for 2 ½ years and succumbed to Osteosarcoma on July 8th, 2009. .  It was her dream one day to establish a foundation to help other children coping with childhood cancer. Amanda Gives Back was established to celebrate Amanda’s life.
 
How the Foundation was formed
 
Amanda Gives Back foundation sprang out of a vision Amanda had for one day being able to help children who were dealing with the same adversities she, herself, went through battling osteosarcoma. Amanda lost that battle, now her dream has been adopted by her mother Christine. With the help of Amanda's Physical Therapist Miriam. Christine’s hope is to help fulfill Amanda's dream by making a child’s hospital stay a little brighter, bringing awareness of childhood cancers and raise money for cancer research. 

Our Goals

       Our hope is to reach children/teens and their families who are battling cancer through education, resources and encouragement.  It is important to nourish these families by giving mental, emotional, and spiritual support.  Our focus is specifically for affected teens that should be having a life filled with friends, school, homework, activities, sports and dances instead of a devastating life changing disease that interferes with normal childhood.  
       Our main goal for the foundation is to provide the medical facilities that touched Amanda with recreational tools and activities that will help engage and entertain children and teens during their hospitalization as well as adopting pediatric cancer patients and their families and providing them with gifts for Christmas.
 
        This past year we were able to raise enough funds to purchase and donate a popcorn machine to the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic at Memorial Hospital.  This year our goal is to donate a jukebox for the pediatric floor of Memorial Hospital (music can play an important role in recovery), to increase the number of families we are able to adopt at the Christmas season, and to donate monies for Osteosarcoma cancer research.

How You Can Help

We rely on your donations, your prayers, and your investment of time to make all this happen.  You can also help create your own fundraiser for us and volunteer your time. Please make a donation or e-mail us at christine@amandagivesback.org to find out how you can help. Or mail to Amanda Gives Back
