Stonington, CT – Members of AFSCME Local 1996, the union representing Stonington public school paraprofessionals, are rallying around a local student and her family in their determined fight against a debilitating disease.
The union donated $1,000 to ECAD (Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities), a Torrington, CT-based organization whose mission is to enable people with disabilities to gain greater independence and mobility through the use of specially educated dogs.
