'Friend And Caregiver For Many': Peabody Local Hero

PEABODY, MA — When times are tough, heroes emerge. But rarely do they get the spotlight they deserve. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've begun 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.

Debi Mitchell nominated Leandra Leclerc, who went above and beyond as a health care worker in the community during the coronavirus health crisis.

"Leandra is a caring compassionate and devoted wife mother friend and caregiver for many who are suffering during the spike COVID-19," Mitchell said.

Thank you for all you do, Leandra!
