She Will Do Anything To Bring A Smile To Others: Milford Hero

MILFORD, 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 Jon Vurno, of Milford, who nominated Donna Vurno, of Milford.

Hero's job: Health Care

Relationship to nominee: She is my mom.

Reason for recognition: When Covid first began my mom offered to do errands for an elderly at risk couple. She would leave work and run errands for them and deliver them right to their garage. My mom works all day taking care of patients, me, our two dogs and home...

One thing to know: She will give anything she has and go without for herself if that means she made someone smile.
