In the community, Evelynn has actively participated in various events, such as Vacation Bible School at our local church and a “Feed My Starving Children” event organized by her mom’s workplace. This marks the third such event she has participated in over the last two years! She consistently shows enthusiasm for volunteering and helping those around her.

This year, Evelynn started kindergarten, where she was awarded the “Best Rester” title for her support in helping her teacher ensure that all the children are settled down for their afternoon rest period. She also volunteered at a local Customer Appreciation Day at the grocery store, where she and her mom set up a table to hand out free bottles of water and lemonade powder to visitors.

Evelynn’s ability to care for others is truly remarkable, especially considering the challenges she has faced over the past three years while I was deployed to Antarctica in 2022, Africa in 2023, and most recently to Lackland AFB for retraining. This year marks three consecutive years where she has spent several months each summer and fall without her dad. During this time, she has been a wonderful helper to her little brother and has volunteered to support children around the world.
