We would like to recognize three outstanding young members of the Sherloch Forest Apartments community — Jason, Kailynn, and Jasiah. These young neighbors regularly go out of their way to help the elderly residents in their building by taking out trash, carrying groceries, and simply checking in on them. During one of those visits, they discovered that a resident’s husband had fallen and needed help. Two of the kids quickly ran home to get assistance, bringing back Jason, who recognized the seriousness of the situation and immediately called 911 for medical help.

Acts like these show what true community spirit looks like. We are proud to recognize Jason, Kailynn, and Jasiah — along with Jason — for stepping up to help someone in need. Their kindness, quick thinking, and willingness to look out for others are an example for all of us.”

Thank you!
