Help Us Build A New Home for Amya

BIA Cares  is excited to announce their 2018 home building project,  "A New Home for Amya Catching." Earlier this year, Amya attended a sleep over to celebrate her 12th birthday. During the night as Amya was sleeping, she was struck on the spinal cord by a stray bullet from a drive by shooting, which rendered Amya paralyzed from the sternum down. Since the incident, Amya has shown great resolve in her recovery and has been a light of inspiration to our community. BIA Cares has been involved in aspects of her recovery process and through the relationship with her and her father, BIA Cares has decided to further step in and help by building a new home that will better suit Amya's needs now and in the future. BIA Cares needs your help!
