He All But Gave The Shirt Off His Back: Madison Local Hero

MADISON, 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 Mark Jorgen who nominated town of Madison employee Jason Rossi who went way above and far beyond to be a helper. An awesome story!

Name: Jason Rossi

State: CT

Hometown: Madison

Hero's job: Works for the Town Of Madison

Relationship to nominee: He helped me

Reason for recognition: My car got stuck in the mud. I tried to open the door and fell out, covering myself in mud. Jason pulled over and helped me free my car. He also gave me his set of after-work clothes, so I didn't have to drive back home in the mud.

One thing to know: He's kind.

Thank you for all you do, Jason!
