Congratulations, Judy!
We were overwhelmed by the depth of Judy McAtee's caring. Through the years, she has been a mother, mentor and caretaker to over 30 foster children of all ages. When it comes to children, Judy has never said no. Thanks to Judy and her kindness many of those who came to Judy as kids are now successful, happy adults. Many with children of their own. And all of them thankful for all the ways Judy McAtee cared for them. Her story and the story of those she has cared for is what inspired our panelists to select her to be our Grand Prize winner.
