Thank you for reaching out to the public through your tv ad! Your staff was always available and very helpful during the entire process of being eligible for the 9/11 compensation fund. The fund continues to assist us with my husbands illness. Without you, our eyes would have never been open to his eligibility. We can never thank you enough! Martha-jean Rosiello xox
