Constituent Story
Bob and Bill founded Blue Heron Wines in Newfields seven years ago. What started as a vineyard with 28 vines now has over 2,500. They made a decision early on that they weren't going to bring in grapes or juice from other parts of the world. They said "No, we're going to be local."
After Tricia's husband David, a Marine who had been stationed for a time at Camp Lejeune, passed away from Myeloma this March, the bills started rolling in.
While her husband was alive and battling his disease, she was told that the VA was going to cover the costs of his intensive medical treatment because of his time stationed at Camp Lejeune and the impact that had on his health. But after he passed, she became overwhelmed by medical bills and was informed that the VA would not pay as she had been led to believe.
