East Coast Radio - Catch Up Stacey & J Sbu

Stacey and J Sbu share a life changing feel good story with KZN!

Today's story was about a New York Housekeeper who had worked for an apartment building for at least 20 years- she fell on hard times due to the pandemic. She had lost her housing. She had been furloughed from her job but kept showing up to work.

Rosa was of cuase beside herself with excited disbelief.
