About Hometown Hero: |
Christie is committed to the community in which she serves. She goes above and beyond her everyday call to duty in her caring and compassion for others.
She takes an active role in providing injury prevention education to children in rural communities. She recently hosted a safety event in Sparta where she held a drawing contest on helmet safety and safe riding. She was able to gather community involvement by providing bicycle helmets to those in need. In addition, the top three winners of the drawings received a new bicycle that was donated by a community partner. The winners were also featured on a billboard providing them recognition for their participation. This was a huge effort on Christie's part and she spared no opportunity for these children.
Most notably, she has donated her own money to several at risk high school kids who are interested in pursuing EMS in order that they would be able to obtain this career goal. As a single mom, this was a tremendous sacrifice. In these hard times, such an act of kindness should not go unrecognized.
When she speaks about these things, she says it's her duty as a person as well as a community member and does not feel she has done anything special. This is the kind of person that deserves recognition for the things she has done and continues to do each and every day. |
