Donna Vanzant still hasnt received any help and shes upset.
I was very excited and felt warm by the embrace thinking this is really going to happen. Im going to get the help I need because he promised that. Ive gotten no help. Ive gotten nothing but No, youre not covered for this. No, youre not covered for that.
