My Why: Amy Searcy

Amy Searcy was born in Poplar Bluff, Missouri but raised in Alvin, Texas from the age of 5 or 6. Was kicked out of the house at 17 years old. Despite what her mother thought would happen, she graduated in 2006 and had her 1st son a few months later. She made the tough decision to join active duty in the Army in February 2008. Amy has 3 sons now and moved to Bandera,Texas in November 2019 while still pregnant with her 3rd son. She has 8 siblings.

I can honestly say helping people is what makes me happy. I have seen family members and friends that have given in to the struggle that comes with addiction and the pain it causes within themselves and people closest to them. I have tried to always be someone who they can come to when they need someone to talk to. To be in the position to be able to help my brothers and sisters in arms and first responders with their struggles is my why. Being a positive role model for my boys and showing them you can help someone is my why.
