Kindness Leaves NO SCARS!
Guardian Angel Feature Story
Amy Keith Dodd
Amy did more than we dared to dream this fall as a Guardian Angel. As a non-survivor, she requested to be the Power of PINK representative for Shawn and Amanda when delivering our care package. Amanda is 30 years old with two small boys in the house (Preston-1 and Parker-5). Amy and Amanda got along great and Amy felt a personal connection to the family. Meeting the family and delivering the care package made The Power of PINK Breast Cancer Foundation feel real to her. She stated that she finally got to see what we our about and why we exist.
Coincidently, not long after Amy met Amanda did her employer ask if anyone knew of a family in need that Amy’s department at KCP&L could adopt for Christmas. Amy raised her hand and offered her newly found family in need. Her idea for this family to be adopted was accepted and the race was on. Amy, with the help of her colleagues, raised $1,000 for Amanda’s family at Christmas. $500 was spent in gift cards for gas, groceries, and prescriptions. The rest were clothes, books, toys, etc. as Christmas gifts. I was lucky enough to deliver the Christmas gifts with Amy and her co-worker, Kelly. It was a wonderful sight to see.
However, there is more to Amy than helping this family. Amy came across a way to get discounted tickets to the Kansas City Chiefs various football games. Beginning with the Jacksonville game and ending with the Raiders game, Amy had sold over 300 Chiefs tickets. Not only did this raise funds for The Power of PINK, many of the volunteers, and their families, got to tailgate and enjoy the game. As the football season comes to a close, I am anxious to see what project Amy tackles next.
Thank you, Amy!
