Chelsea Mandello, US Navy

Chelsea was nominated by her friend Kaycee

Chelsea is incredibly genuine, generous and thoughtful. She runs a non profit (Troopster Donations) that provides care packages to deployed single service members and just sent 1,200 packs out last week at her annual Care Packs 4 Troops event. She works tirelessly on nights and weekends after standing watch to serve her fellow service members. As a military spouse, I can’t express how much it means to me to volunteer for her and work to make sure those who are deployed and far from home know they are cared for and appreciate their service through Chelsea’s carefully crafted care packages. She is a bright, shining ray of sun in this world and it’s a true privilege to know her.
