Kevin & Margaret Eldridge live in Naugatuck, CT and have been married 38 years and have 2 sons and 7 grandchildren. 

Kevin was diagnosed with leukemia 8 years ago. Since that time, he has had a liver transplant and many struggles in his recovery.  Kevin also lost his job and has not been able to work.  Kevin and Margaret have been struggling to financially survive.

Unfortunately, about a month ago, Kevin discovered his outside above-ground steel tank was leaking. The leak was able to be contained with minimal environmental impact.  Upon further investigation, it was determined the boiler needed replacement along with the oil tank. This would have been a huge for the family.

Fortunately, Oil Heat Cares stepped in. 

This project would not have been possible without the initial efforts of Tony Rottella, Sue Lafavre and Carl Lafavre from Thurston along with Danny Gentile and John Mowad from Torrco. The work continued with leadership from Greg Gilbertson and Marty Briganti of Standard Oil, combined with the participation of their team: Jason Bonet, Jason Bonet Jr., and Steve Rosa of Standard Oil, as well as Bart Liquigli and Chris Rodriguez of Complete Tank and Marc Kuczo and Don McDonald of Rural Fuels.

Thank you to John Dunleavy of Carlin Hydrolevel for arranging the donation of the burner and the cap system. And thank you to Fred Maria at Roth for donating the tank.

The Eldridge family are forever grateful.
