Editing Theme Options

I am trying to customize the about-us boxes slightly through a child theme. I have created the same folder structure and copied over theme-options in my child theme.

All I am trying to do is add a url input box in the about us section so the about us boxes can link to a page it is highlighing.

For example an Athletics title with the fa-futbol-o (soccer ball icon) would be linked o the athletics page and since the description strips out any html I can’t add a link that way.

However any changes I have made do not override those of the parent theme. I can surround the div in a link from the front-page.php but without adding a url input via the theme-options all links would be to the same url.

I was able to accomplish exactly what I wanted but I had to edit the parent theme_options.php which defeats the purpose of the child theme.

Thanks for any help/suggestions I appreciate it.
