Subject: Lisa’s Light Fund
Please briefly explain your family’s circumstances, the activity your child is currently participating in, and the assistance needed.
All requests will be reviewed and approved by the Beyond Limits Wyoming Board of Directors. Funding is based on individual circumstances and available funds.
LISA’S LIGHT FUND IS A PERMANENT PART OF BEYOND LIMITS WYOMING, PROVIDING SHORT-TERM ASSISTANCE TO FAMILIES WHOSE CHILD IS ALREADY PARTICIPATING IN AN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY WHEN AN UNEXPECTED CRISIS—SERIOUS ILLNESS, DEATH, JOB LOSS, OR ANOTHER LIFE-CHANGING EVENT—SUDDENLY PUTS CONTINUING THAT ACTIVITY FINANCIALLY OUT OF REACH.
LISA’S LIGHT FUND WAS CREATED IN HONOR OF OUR FOUNDER’S BEAUTIFUL FRIEND, LISA - A WIFE, MOTHER AND AN EDUCATOR FOR OVER 20 YEARS. LISA HAS SPENT YEARS LIVING WITH MS AND WAS RECENTLY GIVEN THE DEVASTATING DIAGNOSIS OF ALS.
IN THE MIDST OF NEWS THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING, LISA REMINDED US HOW QUICKLY LIFE CAN SHIFT—AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HOLD ONTO THE THINGS THAT BRING JOY, CONNECTION, AND LIGHT.
WHEN A FAMILY IS FACING THE UNIMAGINABLE, KEEPING A CHILD IN SOCCER, DANCE, HOCKEY, MUSIC, GYMNASTICS, OR ART MAY SEEM LIKE A SMALL THING. WE DON’T THINK IT IS. IT’S A PIECE OF NORMAL. A PLACE TO BELONG. A FEW HOURS WHEN A CHILD CAN SIMPLY BE A KID.
THIS FUND WAS CREATED WITH LOVE FOR LISA, FOREVER INSPIRED BY HER BRIGHT, BEAUTIFUL LIGHT AND THE JOY SHE CARRIES EVEN IN THE DARKEST OF TIMES.
