Carlene Maxie of Sachse knew all along she wanted to help people after she retired from 30 years as a logistics specialist in the Navy.

Maxie thought she would take it easy for about a year and then start looking for things to do.

It’s always incredible when we get to do this and this week, Jodi nominated her friend Angie who is such a hard worker alongside her husband Matt. They have 5 children and often times, Matt has to work many double shifts. Angie works at the Church Nursery to be able to bring in some income and also so that she doesn’t have to pay daycare, but unfortunately they are struggling to make ends meet.
