  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker Pro Tempore, I rise today to recognize the 
contributions of Rose Akoro as she is honored as one of California's 
8th Congressional District's Women of the Year.
  Rose is a proud mother of 8 children, an active member of her church, 
and a dedicated caregiver who provides for the needs of elderly 
clients. She has been a caregiver with 24 Hour Home Care for many years 
where her experience and compassion help her provide care to 
individuals unable to perform the tasks of daily living without 
assistance.
  Beyond her work, she is an active member of River Town Community 
Church in Antioch, where she has volunteered her time to provide 
groceries and school supplies to local children and families in need. 
She is passionate about educating and providing for the next 
generations, taking the time to counsel and advise the youth of her 
community. Rose is a hardworking and dedicated community servant who 
makes our district more compassionate and inclusive for the most 
vulnerable members of our society.
  On behalf of the people of California's 8th Congressional District, 
it is my pleasure to honor and recognize Rose Akoro for her positive 
contributions to our community.
