Looking for Connecticut locals with inspirational stories of resilience and community support for documentary style film!

Hello!
We are working on an exciting documentary style project focused on inspiring stories of  community support.

Please forward along to anyone who might be interested or if you would like to recommend a story that stood out to you of someone who is contributing to their Community by Giving Back and Creating Their Own Solutions!  We would also like to hear your story if you have experienced an unfortunate hardship, but are not giving up--why and what are you doing to take a stand?
