@VecinoGroup@VecinoGroup Need you to follow up with the residents of Aya Tower in East Point Georgia. They have been dealing with mold for over two years and have been waiting for compensation for financial loss and medical bills.
I checked myself into a mental wellness retreat for the next couple of weeks. Iโve handed over my social media accounts to my management and they will be the ones managing it during my stay here. Iโm surrounded by professional help and canโt wait to come home stronger.
