This week, Rhonda Bowers of Mead, Washington, nominates Katie Youngren. She writes:
Good morning, Kix.
I would like to nominate Katie Youngren for your Hero of the Week. Katie is the mother of a large family. She’s a school bus driver for the Freeman School District, and she is also very active in her church.
Last year, there was a school shooting, and, unfortunately, there was loss of life. Katie provided support to many of the kids that ride her bus to and from school. She has been a consistent source of comfort and even rented out a skating rink for her birthday where she invited all the kids and their families to enjoy of a day of fun. She is a hero in our community.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Rhonda Bowers
