Local Nurse Named Manalapan Hero

MANALAPAN, NJ – 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 Angela Meyer, who nominated her daughter Jacqueline:

Name: Jacqueline Carone
State: NJ
Hometown: Manalapan
Hero's job: Health Care
Relationship to nominee: Daughter

Reason for recognition: “My daughter Jacqueline is a nurse and she is very compassionate about her patients always. But when COVID-19 hit Jacqueline was even more compassionate, she did hesitate for one minute to help COVID-19 patients. She was never afraid, just always wanted to help.”

One thing to know: “Jacqueline would spend as much time as needed with her patients, [she was] never afraid. She would make sure they ate their entire meal even if it meant she was in the room for an hour. She did not care, the only thing that mattered to her was the wellbeing of her patients.”

Thanks for reading! Do you know about those making a difference? Let us know by filling out the form below, and we'll be happy to share their impact with the rest of the community.

Contributions big and small are important and valued.

Thank you for nominating someone who makes your neighborhood a better place.
