[Nfb-krafters-korner] business plan

[River Woman]

I don't know the details at all, it has been over a year ago. I just know my 
husband found the information on my policy and we called to inquire, and it 
was approved.
My counselor said this ws the first time she ever found this kind of 
coverage on anyone's insurance policy and she was delighted to find it and 
hoped to be able to help some others who might have it but did not even know 
about it. That is all I remember.  ?

>>I purchased a refurbished ID mate from Blindmicemart.  It was $385.00.  It
