Today is your day Boomer! Another Baby Boomer going above and beyond the call of duty. 62-year-old Cathy Locke lost her husband a few years ago, but now she has a new family....a new family of 14, refugees from the war in Ukraine! And this family is not just staying temporarily in Locke's house in Barrie, Ontario....they are there permanently. She has adopted them, all of them! "This just became the perfect fit," Locke says. "I've moved downstairs to the basement while they've taken the top half of the house; there's so many of them, but you wouldn't even know it." She is the new Canadian "mother" of the big family which has many children, as you can see in the picture. The family has already been living there for 7 months and has even named their new baby after Locke. The father says "we don't want to leave here. We're looking to make our new lives in this beautiful country; with God's love and people's help, we are happy." Locke is Christian and is a Rotary service club member. Talk about sacrifice, leadership, caring, and love....all in one Boomer woman. Cheers to you Cathy!
