'Hardworking, Loving' Single Mom: Bridgewater Hero

BRIDGEWATER, 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 Nancy Romeo who is nominating her daughter Amanda Romeo of Bridgewater.

Name: Amanda Romeo

Home town: Bridgewater

Hero's job: Business

Reason for recognition: Amanda is a single mom who works at WAWA the entire time COVID-19 was happening, serving mostly the frontline workers when everyone else was safe at home. Even knowing she was risking not only her own safety when little was known about the virus.

One thing to know: She is hardworking and loving.

Thank you for all you do, Amanda!
