Hi, Wil,
I´m happy anyone responded to my cry. Yes, my sister visited FEMA . She got some finantial help and now she lives in some kind of “hotel”. She was also given some amount of money to rent a new appartment , but without social security card and passport and with her income($600+$150) she will never find an appartment. She is in Housing AUthority line almost 5 or more years.THe appartment she lived before Sandy Was $750,basement. She is a very seek woman.Living herself with a pacemaker she was working as a home attendant.
when I found Legal Clinic I called 347-592-2411.Young man with a name Tyler responded.He promissed to find someone who will help my sister ,but nothing happend. At Social security Adm. I was said “NO WAY” and dropped receiver.My sister needs help to replace her SS card and passport,but we do dot know what should be the first step. AND there is smth. else she needs help with but that will come later. Thank you
Hello everyone and Happy Christmas!
Is there anyone in this world who can help me( I´m trying to help my sister)to get out of the mess?????!!!! I live in Germany ,my sister in Brooklyn ,NY. US citizen. She is Sandy survivor. Lost(stolen) EVERYTHING!!!,but she knows Social Sequrity number and I have her original birth sertificate. Old woman, no telephone, no internet,NO ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
No matter where I call, everything ends up with reference to some phone numbers.
I spoke with Legal Clinic representative – again NOTHING !!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas!
Can you tell us a little bit about what your sister needs help with? Has a FEMA or Red Cross worker gotten to her apartment in Brooklyn yet? Why are legal representatives turning you down for assistance?
Please let us know.
