'The best part of my job is telling stories that yearn to be told.'
SAN DIEGO - A flood victim in Southcrest says she’s frustrated after learning she will receive only partial assistance from FEMA.
The next day, she logged into her FEMA account and learned a decision had been made: she was not approved for any assistance involving her home or the losses inside. In an emailed letter, FEMA didn't offer a specific reason for the denial, but did say if insurance gives out more than $42,500, FEMA can't help with ‘any additional expenses.’
