It’s the heart of the people that truly make or break a community. ❤️
This morning, Wood County Now received a heartbreaking story about an incredible local young woman who has touched so many lives and is now facing a battle of her own. Please keep Kaitlyn in your thoughts and prayers, and help us spread the word by sharing this post to reach others who may be able to offer support.
This is Kaitlyn. She has worked at Let's Roll Skating Rink 🛼 since she was just 15 years old—she’s now 22. Over the years, she has poured so much love into the kids in our community, and they adore her for her kindness and caring spirit. 🙏🏼
Recently, Kaitlyn was diagnosed with lymphoma and will be unable to work for some time. She has been a devoted employee and a bright light to so many.
At the skating rink, the kids have created a “jar of love,” filling it with coins, dollars, and heartfelt notes for her. It’s a beautiful reflection of how much she means to them. Many of them have been brought to tears after learning why she won’t be there for a while.
Kaitlyn has always shown love to these kids—and now, they’re showing it right back.
Let’s come together as a community and lift her up. ❤️
