Today's Outstanding Woman is,
Nicolle Ragone of Amsterdam
Nicole runs a non-profit called The Giving Tree in the city of Amsterdam which helps the homeless and poverty bound people. On top of having special needs children. She provides free hygienic and housecleaning supplies to those in need doing this out of the kindness of her heart with no funding. She devotes countless hours to run the program by herself, never asks for anything or getting paid to do this. On top of this she has a family and works a full time job never getting recognized for the good she does in the area.
