A supporter’s story

Debbie shares her experience.

“The idea of leaving a legacy always felt distant — for people with grand estates, not for me. It meant facing mortality and making conscious decisions about the future. For years, I avoided it, relying on an old will.

But speaking with Amos helped me see the importance of leaving a gift. I might not know the exact impact or who will benefit, but I trust that Amos will continue to be where it is needed most, now and in the future. Making a legacy gift became a step of faith — a way to give hope beyond my lifetime.”
