KHOU-11 has a very nice story about a Woodlands mom and her support of her son’s Army company:
To call Judith Cook’s effort a labor of love is almost an understatement. She has transformed one whole room of her Woodlands home into a supply house for 150 troops in Iraq from the Army’s 15th Transportation Company, which includes her 29-year-old son Nick.
“I guess I’d always been the soccer mom, the band mom, the football mom — whatever my children were interested in. And so this is sort of like being the team mom in a different way,” Cook said.
Health problems forced her into a wheelchair, but nothing slows down Cook or her service dog Sergeant Pepper.
From breakfast to Tex-Mex to phone cards, the small room is stuffed with just about everything. Cook and her friends bought the items starting back in October.
“I want them to realize how many people here really do care that they’re there. That we haven’t forgotten what they’re doing,” said Cook.
The story also says that Cook can use donations to assist with buying more supplies and notes that she has set up a bank account in the Army company’s name:
If you’d like to help she has set up an account in the name of the Army’s 15th Transportation Company at Bank of America in the Woodlands inside the Kroger store at 8000 Research Forest. The phone number there is 281 296-5570.
