'Continually Worked On The Front Lines': Moreno Valley Hero

MORENO VALLEY, CA — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

This submission comes from William Welch of Moreno Valley, who nominated his wife, Christina Welch:

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
Director of nursing

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
I believe she should be recognized and honored because she has continually worked on the frontlines while also being married and a mother of 7. She continues to press forward toward the mark without any complaint or ill feeling towards the work that she is required to do as a nurse. And last but not least, she's doing it all in Love.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
That she's a strong fighter and loves to help people. Especially those that are in need.

Thank you for all you do, Christina!
