Hero of the week, Rose Braziel, CEO and founder of Hope 4 Kids.
  Rose started Hope 4 Kids with the same values she has carried with 
her, her entire life: love, respect, and kindness. In doing so, she's 
provided underprivileged children in North Texas with food, clothes, 
and an important sense of community.
  Rose's goal is to not only ensure kids in her community are properly 
taken care of today, but to inspire them to be leaders tomorrow. By 
providing an environment for boys and girls to learn leadership skills, 
teamwork building, and the importance of volunteering, the next 
generation of Texas-24 is well-equipped to lead us for years to come.
  Rose's journey to develop and inspire future leaders was far from 
easy. After two strokes and various doctors telling her she wouldn't 
walk or talk again, Rose has displayed unmatched resiliency and defied 
all odds to continue her incredible efforts.
  Her strength and dedication have helped countless students in need of 
a mentor and a friend. I thank Rose for always putting the next 
generation before herself and ensuring they are set up for success.
