Advocate, Educator: Windsor Local Hero

WINDSOR, 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 Darren Waterhouse who nominated Bonnie Waterhouse of Windsor.

Hero's job: Volunteer

Relationship to nominee: Mother

Reason for recognition: Bonnie has started a non profit around 5 years ago and even in this Covid 19 time period she is still trying to educate people about the dangers of tick borne illnesses. She has taught 7th graders in Windsor about ticks and protection against them.

One thing to know: She’s an advocate for people with Tick borne illnesses and an educator for people who want to listen. She is a major donor to our schools in Windsor as she educates our children on these biting nuisances and life changing bugs.
