Nurse Works COVID Floor On Wedding Week: Trumbull Hero

TRUMBULL, CT — 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.

Margaret Trotta of Trumbull was nominated by Kara Giacobbe.

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

What does the nominee do for work?:
Nurse-Bridgeport Hospital

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Margaret is a nurse on the surgical floor at Bridgeport Hospital. When she was asked to move to cover shifts on the COVID-19 floor, she rose to the challenge and moved out of her home for the week so as not to infect her family. That alone was courageous but it was the week before she was supposed to be married and her April 25 wedding was postponed to July 31. So, she worked on a COVID-10 ICU floor the week she was supposed to be married.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
She's caring- she cared about the poor people suffering alone on the COVID 19 floor.
