Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Laura Gilbert who nominated Angela Cook. Gilbert and Cook are colleagues in Culver City.
