Wendy's Warriors

If you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Wendy Blouin you are missing out.

Wendy we love you and we are here to back you all the way.

Please share and get the word out, we are Wendy’s Warriors!

Faithful, graceful, compassionate, loving, thoughtful, and charitable are just a few words I would use to describe Wendy Blouin.

Wendy and Brad will be celebrating their 35th anniversary in December. Brad informed me that in 1982 he met the most beautiful girl in the world. Wendy is his best friend and the love of his life. Wendy is his world. Together, they have two beautiful kids, Taylor and Breigh Blouin. Wendy and Brad served on the NWA leadership board for four years. They have been members of NWA since 2019.

Wendy’s faith in God is unwavering; how she carries herself with such grace is remarkable. It has shown through every battle she has faced.

Wendy has worked for the St. Tammany Parish School District for 20 years. Wendy cares for her students and brings so much joy to her school. She won paraprofessional of the year because of her hard work and dedication.

Wendy was diagnosed with breast cancer on September 25, 2021, and she beat breast cancer on November 2, 2022. Witnessing the courage that she had throughout her treatments was incredible. During her treatments, Wendy showed up to all of her commitments with a smile on her face. Wendy never complained about how bad she may have felt. Her character is the most beautiful thing about her.

Wendy has a giver's heart, and it shows through all of her charitable work. She has given her time to many charities, one of which is Our Daily Bread Food Bank in Hammond. Wendy has raised and donated money for local food banks, Methodist Children's Home, numerous cancer centers, St. Jude, several humane societies, and Angel Tree, and is a yearly donor of Thanksgiving baskets for those in need.

Recently, Wendy received the diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). ALS is a type of motor neuron disease that causes your motor neurons to degenerate. Wendy has a long battle ahead of her. I know she will handle it with grace. ALS is a life-changing disease that will affect every aspect of her life. Even with this diagnosis, she has not lost faith in God. She will tell anyone who will listen that she knows who holds the future, and she knows that God will take care of her. The Team Gleason Foundation has already donated her things, like a walker and wheelchair, and even told them they will help make their home handicapped-accessible. With that, Wendy and Brad still have a financial burden ahead of them with bringing in an in-home nurse and all of the medical bills. We want to help make her life and her family's life easier in any way possible.

Wendy has decided to make her last selfless act one that will benefit those who are or will face ALS. She has chosen to donate her body to the study of ALS before her cremation. What a way to leave an everlasting legacy. We are all blessed to know her, and she will forever be an amazing person in so many ways to so many people.

Wendy’s Warriors are proud to lend a helping hand in any way. We want to bless her and her family as much as possible because she has blessed many others.

If only this world were full of Wendy Blouin.
