Nine years later, there's still a place to turn

Even nine years later, there are still places to go if you're a casualty of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

And they're not just places that care for those who suffer physically. There are still thousands of people still suffering from the aftershocks of the event, and deal with lingering depression and fatigue.

There are still people who live alone, and suffer from the effects of losing a loved one. There are some who were there, and suffer from post-traumatic stress.

Anne Marie Baumann is the senior vice president of the FealGood Foundation, and she's been receiving many calls from people who are becoming ill - mentally and physically.

Baumann is still shocked herself by the lack of services provided to survivors of the attacks.

"They are looking for much needed help with not much available," she said. "It really is a shame and a discgrace!!!"

Giver her a call at 631-724-3320.
