Another documentary featuring Donna Sue: Pieced 
Together: A Documentary is from Director/Producer Julianne Donofrio. “The film tells the story of how one woman’s love for her mother changed the American landscape – and saved her life. ” View a snippet of the video here.
Donna Sue came to Garrett County in April 2008 to share her story with our volunteers. She was a delightful speaker, often making the audience laugh (and sometimes cry), all the while learning from her vast experience.
Donna Sue has offered her help as our project progresses, and has been a wealth of information as we struggle through our first year as a new organization.
