Look for the Helpers: Kristie Kohn

Thursday, April 2nd, 2020 -- 10:45 AM

-“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”

Those are the inspiring words to Mr. Rogers from his mother, so we’re going to try and find the helpers. Today, we look at an individual. (Thanks to a Facebook friend for showing this story to me.) Kristie Kohn from Owen had a fridge full of eggs from her chickens and she posted on Facebook that they were free to anyone who needed them. People offered to pay for them, but she insisted on giving them away. She later posted that she donated 32 dozen eggs over the course of a day. Another 11 dozen were taken by an area nurse who delivered them to her elderly patients. Kristie said her hens are still laying like crazy, so check in with her and she may have more eggs to donate to you.

This may be a stressful situation for everyone, but we will get through this. Let's all work together and help each other along as we take the current situation day-by-day. And, if possible, make sure you continue to support our local businesses. They’re going to need our support now more than ever. If you know of someone who’s going above and beyond to help the community during this difficult time and would like them to be acknowledged for their work, please send me an email with details to [email protected].
