As a way of honoring her daughter, Amber Le, and as a way of helping the community Amber loved, Debra Kervin is beginning a foundation with funds left over from fundraising efforts undertaken on Amber's behalf during her fight with cancer. The foundation, tentatively called “Amber's Rainbows” will be an on-going 501(c)(3) organization designed to help families of Madison County. The goals of the foundation will be to help provide assistance to patients and families, as well as helping to serve as an advocate for patients and families facing medical issues.
“We also want to help people who just need a hand up,” said Kervin. An organizational meeting is planned for anyone wishing to help. Kervin is looking for “people with a love for the community and want to give back to the community Amber loved.” The meeting will take place at New Verizon Church, located at 72 SW Range Ave., in Madison, on Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 7 p.m.
