“Columbus Air Force Base reached out and they said it’s Womens History Month and we’d love to honor you for your efforts and creating the foundation and just honoring your husband and just bringing positivity to a negative situation. I’m just thankful that they wanted to do this for me and raise money for the foundation,” said Ames.
Over $600 dollars was raised for the foundation.
