We think it’s morally and heavily wrong to watch not only the community that you manage and operate, but that you’re supposed to care for, lose absolutely everything to their name and still demand money,
We are working with utility companies to restore power and referring residents to key resources that are available at all levels of government including FEMA,
Scoop up some of that mud and smell that — that’s what our house smells like,
