(Jenna Fisher/Patch) NEWTON, MA — A well-known 77-year-old Trader Joe's employee was fired after she sold beer to a family member who was not yet 21. Now, with no job and no way to support herself amid the pandemic, the community is rallying to help support her. Once the fundraiser went online, people rallied. In three days, more than 350 people have donated more than $36,000 via the online fundraising platform GoFundMe. "A simple serious mistake has left [Gloria Cocuzzo] 'sick' and 'about to shatter' and without hope," Deanna Miller, who organized the fundraiser, wrote.
