The Tranzformers Foundation 501c3 was formed out of the awesome life and story of Amanda Riggins and their family.  After meeting with Don we could think of no better way to Honor Amanda than continuing something that had made an incredible impact on their journey.  We hope you will continue to walk with us as we walk with others like Jennifer and her family during unexpected times of need! 

Tranzformers Foundation has been with Amanda's Drive from the beginning and we want to continue to help others who find themselves in similar situations...it is what Amanda would want to do!

We are a fully funded organization built to ensure that all contributions made by you go directly to the  cause you designate.  The only fees involved are credit card processing fees.  Our operating budget is completely covered by the founding members of our organization.  We receive NO financial benefit from helping others raise money for their cause.

Many things are needed during times like these, prayers, love, support, and typically financial support to help continue to create memories with your family.

Our Goal through Amanda's Drive | Tranzformers Foundation is to help ease some of the financial burdens created to families who don't qualify for assistance but don't quite have enough resources to cover the added expense and loss of wages during their journey. 

We have the opportunity to step in and bridge the gap of tough decisions and help provide some peace of mind during a difficult time.

Thank you for all you have done for us and we look forward to continuing the journey with many more!

Don Riggins

Jennifer, Phillip, Drew, Carson and Lilly.  Jennifer (46) is a Gifted Teacher at Roopville Elementary School.  She started her career in education in 1998 and currently teaches gifted education at Roopville Elementary School where she has been for 20 years.  Phillip (53) is employed with DieTech in Carrollton.  Drew (22) is a student at Mississippi State University where he is majoring in Agricultural Science.  Carson (20) is a lineman with MasTec, and Lilly (13) is in 8th grade at Central Middle School.  Lilly is an active teenager who enjoys soccer, membership in the FFA, and has recently served as a missionary in South Dakota.  The family attends Tyus Baptist Church and they enjoy serving in various areas of the church.

Jennifer was diagnosed with Stage 3C Ovarian Cancer in December of 2018, just a few months after Amanda was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.  She underwent surgery and 18 months of chemotherapy treatment and was diagnosed as NED (No Evidence of Disease) in 2020.  She began an oral chemotherapy treatment to keep the cancer at bay, however, after twelve months, cancer returned in her chest between her heart and lungs.  In early 2022, she began another infusion of chemotherapy that she will likely continue for the rest of her life as there is no cure for Ovarian Cancer.  Amanda's Drive | Tranzformers Foundation would like to step in and help with some past medical bills and help support the Carroll family with ongoing financial support along their journey.
