The Justin Bodhi Steigmeier Sunshine Fund is dedicated to honoring Justin Bodhi, an exceptional young man whose life was marked by extraordinary accomplishments and compassionate spirit. Justin was a devoted son, a 2nd degree black belt Taekwondo teacher and state champion, an artist, an Eagle Scout candidate, and wilderness skills teen leader.
Justin transitioned at the age of 15, leaving a profound impact on his family and community. As we remember his humility and leadership, we invite you to join us in continuing his legacy by supporting the education of youth and families.
Is an educational organization founded by Justin’s parents, Melanie Ryan and Andy Steigmeier, who provide holistic health and wilderness education. Your contribution helps children and families who may not have the financial means, have access to these programs. Every contribution to the Justin Bodhi Steigmeier Sunshine Fund goes directly to supporting the growth and healing of children and families that cannot afford it.
Some of the programs include organic gardening, herbalism, archery, shelter building, fire making, water purification, tracking and awareness, meditation, basket weaving, wood carving, arts and crafts, intuitive development, self-actualization, leadership skills, and ways to heal naturally.
