Havre de Grace Hero Works 7 Days A Week For The Elderly

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — 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 Kathryn Pierre. She nominated her cousin, who she said has not taken a day off from work at Citizens Care in Havre de Grace since the pandemic began.

Name: Ann Schweers-Jerome

Hometown: Havre de Grace

Hero's job: Child care or elder care

Relationship to nominee: Cousin

Reason for recognition: Ann is a CNA at Citizen's Care Nursing Home. She has not taken a day off since this pandemic as began and has worked many 7-day weeks and 12- and 16-hour

days. She has also found time to volunteer at a local thrift store and take care of her elderly
neighbor.

One thing to know: She is one of the most generous and kind-hearted people I have had
the pleasure of knowing.

Thank you for all you do, Ann!
