Hi! My name is Heather Sica-Leonard. I am the Middle School Music teacher that helped my new friend John escape his van when it caught fire, Thursday, February 23rd on the 384 on-ramp in Manchester, CT. As a proud veteran, John appreciates his independence but also his privacy. On behalf of his family and to respect his name and privacy, I am starting this go fund me that will be given directly to John to help replace his van to give him his independence as he uses a wheel chair for mobility due to a spinal cord injury. He is a very humble man who took this incident with great stride and I am honored I was there to help him and would love to support him regain his independence.
