In memory of Amerie Jo Garza.
Amerie Jo Garza was a brave and creative 10-year-old whose heroic actions and love for art and family have left a lasting impact.
Amerie Jo tragically lost her life while calling 911 as a shooter entered her classroom at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. In recognition of her extraordinary bravery, she was awarded the Bronze Cross—the highest honor bestowed by the Girl Scouts.

Amerie Forever Memorial Fund
Amerie Jo Garza aspired to become an art teacher, a dream that highlighted her nurturing and imaginative spirit .At just 10 years old, Amerie was instinctively helpful and protective, especially when it came to her little brother, 3-year-old Zayne, whom Amerie remembered to kiss every morning before she went to school, where she also excelled as a student and won the school's "Heart of Gold" award.
You can support Amerie’s legacy by contributing to her memorial fund. All funds raised will support causes that Amerie exemplified- toys for kids in needs, art scholarships, and more.
