"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with my right hand of righteousness

Join us in celebrating our newest Consuela Viva Babe, Katlyn! 

Katlyn’s journey is one of strength, selflessness, and love. Her Grandma Jill nominated her for the Viva Babe Award, sharing that Katlyn has always been wise beyond her years, taking care of her little sister, managing school, and stepping up in ways most teens never have to. She’s a straight-A student, deeply kind, and never lets the sight loss in one eye hold her back.

Her grandma surprised her after school with the Viva Babe Award and gifts. “Out of everyone she could have nominated, she chose me,” Katlyn shared. “That was really special.”

Katlyn draws inspiration from her faith and her Grandma Jill, who taught her to embrace uncomfortable situations for personal growth. Her favorite quote is the Bible verse Isaiah 41:10: "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with my right hand of righteousness," which reassures her that even when things don’t go her way, God is in control.

When she’s not helping others, Katlyn refills her cup with arts and crafts, pickleball, country music, and long car rides with the volume turned up. She also loves sleepovers and days at the lake with friends.

As she heads into her senior year, Katlyn is exploring her future—leaning toward nursing after falling in love with her healthcare electives and clinical studies. 

Katlyn, your kindness, leadership, and heart inspire us all. We’re so proud to call you a Viva Babe!
