WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — Co-workers at a Windsor Locks senior living community are raising money for a family who lost their home and belongings in a recent house fire in Enfield.
Anna Hepler, a lead server at Stonebrook Village, is now looking for housing and replacing the essentials she lost, according to a GoFundMe campaign started by co-worker Corinne Contois.
Contois said she and Hepler work together at Stonebrook Village and described Hepler as a dedicated employee who “always makes sure everyone around her is well taken care of.”
