Scott County Youth Grantmaking Council (?YGC?) members Tyler White and Carmen Boley award the 2015 Helping Hand Award to Isabela and Fidelina Diaz at the YGC?s annual dinner. This award is for students who go above and beyond in making our community a better place. Isabela is a fifth grade student at Lexington Elementary and Fidelina is an eighth grade student at Scottsburg Middle School. When the sisters heard about Bo Meagher being diagnosed with leukemia, they wanted to find a way to help. They came up with ?Bracelets 4 Bo,? where they hand-made and sold hundreds of bracelets with the hashtag #bostrong, raising over $800 for Bo and his family. They also started a Facebook page as a way for the community to offer prayers for Bo. ?We?re so happy that we?re able to help Bo and his family!? said Fidelina. The sisters were presented with a certificate and $100 for their efforts, and are shown accepting their award with Bo. Fidelina and Isabela are the daughters of Fredy and Julie Diaz of Lexington.
