Katie Odom, director of Withness Inc, steps into the lives of people with special needs, gets eye-level with them, and communicates – with her words and her presence – that they are deeply beloved children of Jesus Christ.

Katie has been walking alongside those with special needs for over 15 years now through YoungLife Capernaum, as a teaching assistant in Knox County Schools, as a facilitator at The Arc Anderson County, and as a personal caretaker in homes of special needs friends.
