WRGB Story Had Impact

Well, It looks like reporter Marci Natale of WRGB CBS6 certainly had an impact with Giovanni's story that she put together!!! It sounds like Giovanni's medical insurance company has overturned their original denial and plan to cover Giovanni's formula. ACCFCB will pay the initial up front expense for the first month's supply (about $2,200.00) and the insurance company will reimburse us this expense.

ACCFCB would like to thank Marci for her investigatory work on Giovanni's behalf. This outcome wouldn't have been possible without her effort.

We would also like to thank the community for donating to our foundation in Giovanni's name at Key Bank's around the Capital Region. We will continue to work with the DeGeorge family and will utilize your generous donations to assist him.

ACCFCB agreed to help pay for Giovanni's formula.

After Jamie DeGeorge's interview with WRGB she told John Smith:

"Without my family, my pediatrician and you guys- (Albany County Correctional Facility for Children's Benefit) I don't know what I would do. Your organization has been WONDERFUL!! I'd be lost without you guys. So A Big Thank You to you!!"
