Mrs. ND Intl. Erin Jo Bertel

Mrs. ND International Erin Jo Bertel is my hero because of her passion and dedication to The Joy of Sox organization. She has taken her state platform up to a whole new level with the work she is doing to bring awareness and provide warmth and comfort to the homeless population of North Dakota. She has even officially made February 14, 2015 the very first "Socks for the Homeless Day" in North Dakota. Not only is she my best friend, a nurse, and a phenomenal wife and mother -- she has become North Dakota's very own "Sock Angel" and will make an impact on countless lives during her reign and beyond.
