Katie is a dedicated emergency room nurse who has spent countless nights and weekends serving the underserved in our community. For over 20 years, she has put the needs of others before her own, even through the challenges of a global pandemic. Her compassion and commitment have made a real difference in the lives of so many, but the demands of her work have also taken a toll on her mental health.

Like many healthcare workers, Katie faces a quiet epidemic of mental health struggles, especially as a night shift nurse. Night shift work is considered a carcinogen by the World Health Organization, and Katie manages both clinical and seasonal depression. Despite these challenges, she finds comfort and healing in nature. Her love of sunshine, beauty, and golf club grass inspires her to spend time outdoors whenever she can, and caring for her large lawn brings her peace.

We want to give Katie the gift of a riding lawnmower, so she can enjoy the sunshine and nurture her own space. This simple act will help her use her gifts, support her well-being, and remind her how much she is loved and appreciated. Please help us give back to one of the hardest working and most selfless friends we know. Your support will mean the world to Katie and show her that her community cares.
