Connecticut residents traveling to Caribbean for hurricane relief, rescue

Two Connecticut women are on a mission to provide aid to the Caribbean islands — specifically the animals on the islands — after Hurricane Irma devastated the area on Sept. 6. Sue Maraczi, of Milford, works as a licensed emergency and critical care nurse at the Animal Medical Center in New York City. Maraczi, alongside many veterinary professionals throughout the region, initiated a massive food relief effort to help hungry animals impacted by the hurricane. But Maraczi decided she wanted to do more. Soon after, her friend Melissa Marter, who lives in Stratford and owns Who’s Your Doggie in Milford, jumped on board the idea to fly down to the islands and help. “She said let’s go help, let’s go do this,” Marter said.
