Aimee Copeland Speaks at Salvation Army Luncheon

Aimee and her father Andy spoke at the yearly fundraiser for the non-profit's Home Sweet Home program.

Every year, the Salvation Army hosts a luncheon to raise money for their "Home Sweet Home" program. This year, the Lawrenceville non-profit invited Aimee Copeland and her father Andy as their featured speakers. The theme was "It Takes More than Hands to Make a Home." Andy talked to the audience about how he and his did not lose faith when his daughter Aimee was injured in a zip lining accident almost one year ago. That accident led to a bacterial infection which claimed her limbs, but not her spirit.

Watch the video to see Aimee talk about the life changing experience and her plans for the future.
