What the grants made possible
A few of the 25 families the foundation supported in 2025, shared with their permission.
Amy Bloomquist
Memory-making trip
Amy had seen the ocean once in her life. Her grant sent her, her husband and their two teenagers to Destin, Florida, to see it together.
Cheryl Brown
Memory-making trip
Cheryl wanted to be at her son’s wedding in Omaha. Her grant covered an accessible RV, a nurse for the road and the hotels, so she could dance at it.
James Maxwell "De"
Bathroom renovation
De’s grant paid for a bathroom renovation so his home works for him and his wheelchair.
