'Unconditional Love And Care': Fairfield Local Hero

FAIRFIELD, CT — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Marie Mansolillo who nominated her daughters, Victoria and Julia Mansolillo, who are both from Fairfield.

Name: Victoria and Julia Mansolillo

Hero's job: Health Care

Reason for recognition: We are so proud of both of our daughters, who work in ICU units in
Connecticut and Massachusetts (Greenwich Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center).

One thing to know: They did their jobs with sincere compassion and grace. The nurse was the only one in the room with the patient because family is not allowed in the hospital. They gave their patients unconditional love and care in their last days.

Thank you for all you do, Victoria and Julia!
