A Bank Account is Open for A.J.

Since Monroe Patch ran a story on A.J. Rogers being diagnosed with leukemia, generous residents donated over $700 to his family. Rogers, 19, is a Stevenson volunteer firefighter and a student at Naugatuck Community College.

An account has been set up for A.J. at the branch in the Big Y Shopping Center, 535 Monroe Turnpike.

Those interested in making a donation may ask for Carrie Milks at the bank. Checks made payable to Andrew Rogers will be accepted.

In addition to his service as a firefighter, A.J. is a Masuk High School graduate and a former Boy Scout in town.
