“Our joint adventure with Compass 82 is about to be concluded. I am taking this opportunity to let you know how much our Disaster Case Manager has been wonderful all along. By her empathy, her professionalism, her undeniable and constant support, her initiatives, our Disaster Case Manager created a strong feeling of partnership with us, my husband and myself. We are convinced that she did her best to help us in the sometimes-harsh steps of our recovery from the hurricane Irma’s aftermath. Because of our Disaster Case Manager’s implication, the quality of our daily have improved greatly. Therefore, it is now easier to deal with our professional lives.”
