challenges met with solutions
Amanda worked for an amazing company -- Albemarle -- that provided comprehensive health coverage, and her family aided with every out-of-pocket comfort and support she needed.
But for most cancer patients, that is not the case!
That bothered Amanda, and that’s the first mission of 4Amanda – help cancer patients and their family’s with out-of-pocket expenses. This will NEVER cost cancer patients nor their families a single penny.
Amanda was also fortunate to work remotely for most of her cancer treatment, as did I. But again, for most cancer patients, that is not the case.
That too bothered Amanda, and that’s the second mission of 4Amanda -- a remote work or gig site dedicated to cancer patients and their family’s. This will NEVER cost cancer patients nor their families a single penny.
Amanda also found the social media support space too broad and not specifically designed for cancer patients nor their families.
That’s the third mission of 4Amanda – a dedicated and welcoming social media platform free of advertisements, free of tracking, and safe for families. This will NEVER cost cancer patients nor their families a single penny.

most importantly, meet Amanda
This is what I wrote to help the minister prepare for her funeral services. Yes, I know it is full of spelling and grammatical errors, but you see, Amanda always helped me with that.
When Amanda found out she had cancer, the first thing she said to me was, "what about you and Moss?"
Then she was worried about her Mom's health, her grandmother, her nieces, and everyone else.
That was Amanda in a nutshell!
She loved VT games for many reasons, but none more than it gave her an avenue of closeness with her Father, and she loved him so.
She loved Taylor swift because the songs were allegories that fit into points of time in her life, and the promise that outcomes could be great even with a shit backstory.
She loved Marvel because of the arc of the characters and the honor of what everyone fought for. The sheer size of the team facing an even larger challenge without giving up.
She loved baking because it was always for someone else.
She loved her Mom; she was so concerned with her and her health.
She loved giving gifts because she wanted to see those she loved surprised and happy.
She loved Disney cruises for the same reason she loved the TV show Downton Abbey, because it was proper, and attentive, and old fashioned.
She loved Disney because she loved the moral of every story.
She loved every holiday because it meant a celebration -- on some level, by someone -- happiness and engagement.
Amanda wanted to be loved, and sometimes felt she wouldn't be. But that was simply impossible, because to know her was to love her. That's often said, but absolutely true for her and you will not find anyone who might question that.
She was perfect; simply perfect.
And she's gone, and it hurts more than any pain I have ever felt.
But she was such a loving perfect creature that I know I am not alone in the pain, nor am alone in the honor of having loved her.
I know much of the positive impact she had on the lives of others, but there aren't the volumes to capture it.
I am one of many that find it difficult to imagine heaven, but then I think of Amanda there, and it's not just easy to imagine, but easy to imagine heaven better with her light in it.
