'Finds The Ability To Be Pleasant And Helpful': Murrieta Hero

MURRIETA, CA — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

This submission comes from Karen Vermillion of Menifee, who nominated her sister-in-law, Linda Sanders of Murrieta:

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
Retail clerk for Rite Aid

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Linda has continually showed great support to her store and customers during these uncertain times being so vulnerable during this pandemic. Every day she faces customers who are sick, upset and sometimes unpleasant. Still she continues to be at work and finds the ability to be pleasant and helpful. Going home every day knowing she faces this sickness up front.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
If ever there is someone that believes in human kindness....its Linda. Unselfish love.

Thank you for all you do, Linda!
