Patrick Chirico almost immediately sent his pregnant wife and two small children from their Brooklyn apartment to live with her mother in Watertown when the pandemic hit in February 2020.
Knowing that his family was safe, he stayed behind to do his part during those early days of COVID-19 to help make sure the medical community got some needed personal protection equipment when he worked on a project to manufacture 500,000 facial masks.
Once that work was complete, he returned to his hometown, where he joined his wife Brittany and 6âyearâold son and 3âyearâold daughter in July. Two months earlier, they purchased their first home, a threeâbedroom Cape Codâstyle house in Watertown.

BRUNSWICK — When Kendra Armstrong of Phippsburg came home from work in 2015 to find her cat, Moose, had escaped her house, she assumed she’d never see him again.
“I looked around the neighborhood and on the Midcoast Humane’s stray page, but he wasn’t there,” said Armstrong. “I had lost hope. I was so certain he was long gone, like crossed the rainbow bridge gone, and I’d never see him again.”
Five years later, she glanced Midcoast Humane’s website, where she rediscovered the wayward feline.
“He was one of the first cats that popped up and I immediately recognized him,” Armstrong said.

The Shermain Show and Total Imports Supplies partnered to bring some Christmas cheer to a deserving single mother. The new talk show wrapped up its first season with a Christmas finale where the winner of the show’s “Single Mom, Super Mom of The Year” Award was announced.
Rennetta Desiree Roberts was nominated by a friend and colleague, Tracy Withy-Browne, who first met the single mom two years ago. The elated mother of two and customer service representative had no idea why she was brought onto the show until the host, Shermain Jeremy, informed her that she was the first recipient of the award dedicated to highlighting the struggles and triumphs of single mothers in Antigua and Barbuda. Total Imports Supplies was the presenting partner and sponsor of the initiative and awarded the grateful mom a check of EC $1,000.
