Dear Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Councilwoman, Dawn McAdam and Mayor Dennis Elwell for the kind and gracious help they provided last week after I experienced a kitchen fire in my home at the Kroll Heights senior building. A fire in one’s home is always an upsetting event, but it was especially so for me as I live on a fixed income with no family in the area. The morning after the fire, Councilwoman McAdam visited my apartment bearing a homemade meal and cleaning supplies which she used to personally help me rid the damaged items and clean the charred kitchen. Mayor Elwell also visited to bring groceries and express support. I am so grateful to them for taking time from their busy schedules to help me through such a difficult time, and I feel fortunate to live in a town with such fine, caring representatives.
Martha Zainea.
