Amy
Wells Unlimited Possibilities Fund
The
Amy Wells Unlimited Possibilities
Fund has raised several hundred thousand dollars toward educational, cultural, and
recreational opportunities for St. Mary’s
Kids. The name “Unlimited
Possibilities” honors the memory of
Amy Wells who, in her 29 years of living
with a serious medical condition,
taught those around her that all things
are possible despite overwhelming odds.
In addition, the Amy Wells “Unlimited
Possibilities” Fund has distributed commemorative
copies of Dr. Seuss’ inspirational book Oh, the Places You’ll Go! to
children throughout New York. The
daughter of Stephen Wells, the
Chairman of the Board of Directors of St. Mary’s Foundation for Children,
Amy completed a master’s degree in
child psychology and law school, took
the bar exam, worked as a law clerk, and was posthumously admitted to the
bar. Wells states, “Amy dedicated her
life and career to helping other special
needs children and their families.
She would be pleased to know
her fund was going to help spark each
child’s creativity and passion for knowledge.”
This year the Amy Wells Fund
will enable children at St. Mary’s to participate
in music and art therapy, field
trips, and Hippotherapy, utilizing the
movement of a horse as treatment.
