'Definition Of A Caring Neighbor': Lakewood Hero

LAKEWOOD, CO — 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 Morgan Anderson of Lakewood, who nominated fellow community member Judy Etkins.

Where the nominee lives:
Lakewood

Name of the nominee:
Judy Etkins

What does the nominee do for work?:
Making masks

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Judy has made over 500 masks by hand and given them away to any and all who has needed them.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
She has even gone above and beyond for some of the people who have reached out to her about the masks she has given away to help with groceries or anything else they may need. Judy has TRULY lived up to the definition of a caring neighbor to anyone who reaches out to her!
