Title: Limitless - Aldo Amenta's Journey
Date: March 19, 2019
In 2015, Aldo Amenta sustained a severe spinal injury when he dove into the shallow end of a swimming pool. His family had to choose between paying for therapy or for his studies. Through FIU’s faculty & staff Ignite Campaign, Amenta received the Panther Protection Scholarship, covering his tuition and allowing his family to cover therapy expenses.
In this two minute video created by FIU's External Relations Office, Amenta shares his challenges and how grateful he is for all that life has given him, from the scholarship to receiving a wheelchair accessible donated van from Palmetto Nissan. Click here to view Limitless - Aldo Amenta's Journey.
