"I do child passenger safety training with the Kentucky State Police. I'm also an instructor to train the troopers to become technicians," explained Clevinger. "I also help them with fundraisers for Trooper Island like their golf tournament and bike ride. Anything they ask me to do that I can do, I'll go above and beyond to help them. I'm also involved with Hillbilly Christmas in July because my heart's out there for children!"Suetta volunteers her time working with many different groups which benefit many types of people. But, she says she loves working with the Kentucky State Police to help them raise money for Trooper Island as well as "shop with a trooper". Trooper Shaun Little, Public Affairs Officer for Post 9 in Pikeville says Suetta's help is invaluable.
"Suetta gives to anybody she can. I don't know how many activities she's involved in, but for the State Police, anything I've ever asked from her, she's always there," explained Little. "She helps with registration for our motorcycle ride and does whatever else we need. Suetta is the go-to person for a lot of people!"
One other group that benefits from Suetta's help is Hillbilly Christmas in July. She said that one trip to the Shriners Hospital in Lexington was all it took. "I went to the Shriners Hospital, and it broke my heart! If you go to that hospital, and you come out without crying, there's something wrong," she said. "That's why I'm so involved with Hillbilly Christmas in July. I just want to help the children. I have a big heart, and I really want to help the community as much as I can."
