What do I do when I’m not at rodeos? So glad you asked. I’m beyond blessed to be a social worker for the VA. Yesterday I received an award for some of the work that I did. I realize it’s not a buckle but it’s just as special to me🩵🐾🩵
Congratulations to the January Bee Award Winner... Katrina Lawecki.
From her nomination: A homeless Veteran needed a place to live after his recent discharge from a local nursing home. This Veteran was denied all other community nursing home options, so a hotel was needed. Katrina worked for days to get a hotel set up and a plan in place.
When placement was not achieved on a late afternoon, the Veteran presented to our UCC for assistance. I witnessed Katrina going above and beyond to assist the Veteran.
Although the scenario was stressful for Katrina, she never gave up and continued to find adequate placement for this Veteran.
Katrina, thanks for your great work on behalf of our Veterans and congratulations on earning the January Bee Award.
