monoxide poisoning. Since then, she has used her voice, her platform and her influence to educate others about the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and the importance of having a carbon monoxide detector. After learning how many families in her community couldn’t afford a carbon monoxide detector, Sheletta set out to provide carbon monoxide detectors, free of charge.

Although Sheletta is a familiar face at the Cottage Grove Hy-Vee store, it wasn’t until the producers of the talk show “The Doctors” approached the company in February regarding her upcoming appearance – about her mission to help others and provide free carbon monoxide detectors – that Hy-Vee learned of her story. In collaboration with show producers, Hy-Vee decided to surprise the mother of four, including three children with special needs, and give her and her family free groceries for a year.

“Sheletta is a true inspiration and an example of how one person can make a big difference in their community and the world,” said Tina Potthoff, senior vice president of communications at Hy-Vee. “We are humbled by her story. Providing her with groceries is the least we can do so she can continue to pursue her mission while taking care of her family.”
