Tribute Tree at McCutcheon High School
In October I found out a close friend of Kyle's and mine from college was injured in Afghanistan. With the help of some inside contacts I was able to be the sole person he knew to welcome him back to America at Walter Reed Hospital. He was in pretty rough shape the first time I saw him but with Kyle's support I was able to be with him that first night. His family arrived the next day and I provided as much support as I could to them while he began on his long road of recovery. I was humbled to be welcomed into his family and to be a part of his healing as much as I could. 6 weeks after his injury and his second to last day at Walter Reed before transferring back to Minnesota, I was able to be there for his first shower and first trip outside since he arrived! Continuing to pray for his speedy recovery. Being there for him has instilled such confidence that working and caring for our men and women in the military is my calling! I am happy to report I will be graduating with my Master of Social Work Degree. The sky is my limit at this point as I turn to this next phase of starting a career! Excited to see what my angel has in store for me as he has been giving me guidance from day one!
