Thank you for listening to me when I needed it. Thanks for caring and treating me special and not like the mentally ill. I once respected the Oprah staff for their choices. Wrote them about you and they didn\u2019t care. I wonder why? Glad you are around. I heard you help so much that you are broke. I\u2019m one of the ones you helped.
