@SamsungUS @SamsungSupport @bbb_us @7OnYourSideNY Hey @SamsungSupport @SamsungUS appliances were attempted to be delivered today and 4 out of 5 were damaged and unable to be installed. My newborn has grown 3 in and gained 3lbs since being born. How many more before I can store my breastmilk for him? @bbb_us @7OnYourSideNY

[Alissa Dumsch @AlissaDumsch]

@SamsungUS @SamsungSupport been waiting for our appliances since they shipped 10/31. Keep getting the run around. Expecting baby any day and need fridge to store breastmilk. Please, please help!! Moms are tired enough.

[Alissa Dumsch @AlissaDumsch]

@SamsungUS @SamsungSupport Still no appliances and we’ve called the number you gave us 7 more times since this tweet. In that time, I’ve delivered a human and he’s gained two pounds. You’ve delivered nothing. Filed with @bbb_us. Also sent story to @7OnYourSideNY. Someone, please help!

@SamsungUS @SamsungSupport @SamsungSupport @SamsungUS we’ve called 7 times since this tweet. I gave birth to a baby boy. Still no appliances. About to escalate to BBB and local news stations. You’ve had our $ since October and you’ve been no help.

[Alissa Dumsch @AlissaDumsch]

@SamsungUS @SamsungUS we’ve spent over ten hours on hold or calling that phone line and our chats have gone no where. Was told appliances shipped 10/31 and would arrive no later than 11/16 and nothing. Please get me a human who can actually help me get what I need before I give birth!!

“Over the past 20 years, Aaron has spiraled from a high school star and an academic all-American on the Arizona State University football team to a ward of the state of Maryland. He has been captive not just to a schizophrenic brain but to a perfect storm of factors.”

“I’ve sent a million emails. I’ve taken photos of facilities. I’ve questioned how staff members are trained. I’ve done all this b/c I don’t want to be the mother on TV being asked, 'Why didn’t you get him help?'" My @wpmagazine cover story on schizophrenia https://t.co/nRlr3XEhnc

[Alissa Dumsch @AlissaDumsch]

@BuneCraig That’s amazing!!!! I’m so incredibly happy for him and you.

This is my brother, Aaron, meeting my first son. He had gotten a day pass from his group home and we all heavily monitored him around the baby. This is the only time Aaron met one of my children right after they were born—he was hospitalized for the others. #behindthephoto

Schizophrenia forever changes families. The Dumsches bravely shared their story—of heartbreak, a mother's love, a failing mental health system—so others would know they're not alone. My @wpmagazine cover story https://t.co/nRlr3XEhnc @katiecouric @CherylStrayed @Trevornoah

“The Dumsches clung to family life as they’d known it, taking Aaron to church, to the theater, on vacations. Disaster followed everywhere.” TY, ⁦@AbigailDJ⁩, for this all too familiar #mentalhealth story. ⁦@AustenRiggs⁩ ⁦⁦@MassDMH⁩ https://t.co/3FvAshFlZv

"Scores of black vultures sit motionless on a fence. 'This is the path to nothing,' Anita says."

A grim but compelling look at, well, when the worst happens, and the hapless incomprehension of our society in the face of it.
