After meeting with Raina from Easter Seals of Nebraska, I have such hope and even more determination to finish what I started in 2011. She is so great at explaining complicated in a way that I can understand. I appreciate it very much as anything dealing with Social Security can confuse and/or frustrate you. Easter Seals should be recognized for having competent, compassionate, and informative employees. A special thanks goes to Raina.
