Amber Marie (Acheson) Anderson
“On behalf of a grieving family, we honor the legacy of my daughter Amber Marie (Acheson) Anderson by supporting ROX. Amber was a smart, personable, kind and loving person who succumbed to health afflictions she just could not conquer.
Amber’s challenges were rooted in self-doubt, low self-esteem and self-confidence. Using the energy of our grief, we are determined to help Amber realize her purpose by promoting her mantra that “kindness matters” by supporting ROX’s efforts to help girls be better prepared for what their future holds.”
