ground with new details. why did you shoot my daddy and me heartbreaking words from a six year old north carolina girl after neighbors say she and her father were shot over a basketball we're tracking a major threat in the skies more than 50 million people from texas to wisconsin could be hit with severe weather after deadly tornadoes tore through oklahoma overnight following these major developing stories, and many more all coming in right here to cnn news, central. right now. crews are searching through debris in oklahoma for survivors after a deadly tornado touched down just south of oklahoma city. at least two people were killed. officials fear they could find more victims as they comb through destroyed homes looking for survivors. several tornadoes tore through the strait. this is ariel video that shows heavy

damage. to a neighborhood in oklahoma city homes. they're completely flattened in some cases, and here we're going to show you some severe damage to a lows in the city, the roof literally collapsing in on itself and then debris littering the parking lot. meteorologist jennifer gray is joining us now , jennifer. at this point, there is still a threat correct. you're right, sarah. there is a threat. the threat is shifting a little bit further to the east, but we do have a threat of severe weather. today the main threats are going to be very large hail and gusty winds. however we could see the threat of tornadoes as well. they can't be ruled out. you can see showers and storms already starting to fire up heading into portions of the midwest. you can see chicago right there. the storms are to the west of that now these storms are going to intensify throughout the day. we have a lot of moisture coming in from the gulf of mexico will have some daytime heating so that will feed the storms, and then they will throw live by the time we get to the afternoon evening hours, but you can see they're already starting to get going as early as right now.

this morning. we're seeing those showers just on the east side of oklahoma city pushing to the east as well. so here's your main threat area. that area shaded in yellow anywhere from, say, southeast texas or the hill country of texas all the way up to the midwest. it does include some big cities like dallas, houston, little rock, even st louis, chicago, right on the fringes, so chicago could even see some of these storms become strong as well. so they'll start to march to the east through the mississippi river valley onto the ohio valley by tomorrow. this is the greatest risk area for two inch or more diameter. hail so we could see very large hail embedded in some of these showers and storms. sarah as we go throughout the evening hours tonight, yeah, and we know what happened in little rock. not too long ago. there has been a really rough year so far for the number of tornadoes and the deaths from him. thank you so much. jennifer gray. therefore, kate.

look at that. the spacex starship the most powerful rocket ever built, taking off from boca, chica, texas. now take a look at this. we're going to show you the engines. these are the engines. there are 33 of these on the rockets booster, and it became evident during launch that at least three and at times, others even more did not ignite at the time of liftoff. how mission critical was that? we don't know quite yet. but here is how it all ended this morning. we should have had separation by now. obviously this is does not appear to be a nominal situation. yeah it does appear to be spinning, but i do want to remind everyone that everything after clearing the tower was icing on the cake. not a nominal situation, but also icing on the cake. this is where something went wrong. very clearly in the

rocket exploded. no people no satellites on board this test, of course. so now there's so much to learn from this spectacular show this morning, cnn's ed lavandera. he had a front row seat for it all. he's back with us this hour. and what more are you learning? what more details are coming in about what will happen this morning? well we're not expecting to hear on camera from spacex officials that hasn't happened yet, or may not happen. but elon musk has tweeted just a short while ago that they learned a lot from today's launch and that they will prepare for another test launch in the coming months. so that timeframe seems to be rather quick. but elon musk was several days before this launch was putting really like dampening expectations as to what might happen. even thinking there might be some catastrophic failure on the launch pad as it launched, but it was a stunning thunderous site here as the starship rocket cleared the

launch pad and then started traveling east for several minutes. you can see this long giant smoke trail and then just about the three minute mark at the time that we thought that the booster was going to separate from the rocket ship. we heard another loud, thunderous explosion and bright orange light below that smoke trail. assuming now at this point, given what we know now that that was the failure of the rocket ship exploding there over the gulf of mexico. ideally if everything had gone right, this ship was supposed to travel almost around the earth. falling into the pacific ocean around the state of hawaii, but that clearly didn't happen, so they are. we'll continue working here. and of course, all of this significant because this is the rocket ships rocket ship system that will eventually partner with nasa as it returns to the moon and eventually trying to create human travel. tomorrow so all of this intertwined with what nasa is doing, and that's

why so many people are paying such close attention to this. absolutely ed. thank you so much for that update. now let's get nasa's perspective on this. joining us right now is the nasa administrator. bill nelson, administrator. i know you were watching and your team was watching this closely this morning. what's your reaction to this test today? it's a good first step. uh spacex is motorcycle. renda is to work it and work it until it works. uh it looks like they got through the first stage of this big monster rocket. that's a real accomplishment. we'll get a report on what happened to the second stage, but i'm very encouraged that they've gotten along this far. remember this is a big rocket, but it goes into orbit, and then it's got to refuel. and you're gonna have to have eight tanker. whites to low earth orbit with fuel to fuel up

the starship to go to the moon. so they have a long way to go. but this is a good start. it is remarkable to hear how many how far things have come and shut. how far how many more steps there still are you? you and tweeted i've been quoting tweets from you all morning administrator you treated back in february that the starship is quote integral to nasa's moon to mars architecture and helping us land astronauts on the moon. can you describe how critical spacex and this particular rocket is to nasa's missions to nasa's goals? space x won the competition for the first lander. we have another competition going rat right now that this summer we will select a second lander. but space sex has the opportunity to be the first and so at the end of 25 or early 26. after we have flown our crew of four astronauts that we announced on a flight around the moon in late

next year, 24 so about a year later, we put four astronauts on orion going to lunar orbit, and then they will transfer into the space checks. lander the starship that you see there in the pictures that you had. uh that top part of the stack that launched and two of the four astronauts will go to the moon and the first woman and the next man will walk on the surface of the moon. nasa has said. i mean, if you mentioned kind of the timetable, whichever one of course, wants to hear more about that timetable when humans are going to be back on the moon, 20 and 2025, maybe 2026 does this test and what we've seen today does that change nasa's timetable at all? no it doesn't

. this is the way space checks goes about. uh they test this stuff. they run it hard. sometimes it blows up. remember, they're very successful. falcon nine rocket that launches our astronauts to the international space station. several of them blew up to begin with, and now it's become a workhorse for commercial for government for nasa. so this is their motor sapporo nd people see this explosion. i mean, some might be discouraged to think it didn't work. they called it icing on the cake. after it cleared the launch pad. you called it encouraging, but just from your background in all of this is that you know, i almost called you, senator again. administrator what did you think? when you saw this? i'll take off this morning. well i was cheering as that rocket rose . uh naturally you want to see it continue. but as president,

kennedy said, when he spoke in rice stadium 60 years ago, he said, we go to the moon not because it's easy, but because it's hard. and space is hard. and they'll overcome this and we'll be on the way and we'll be landing on the moon late 25 26. i promise you we will be here to watch this and that and thank you so much administrative for coming on for your first reaction to this. it's a really special day to see this all play out and see science and the progress all along the way and happening. live. thank you, administrator. thanks. it's good to see him. all right, john. this morning was stitches in her face. a six year old north carolina girl is asking why police say kinsley white was playing in her yard with her basketball rolled into the neighbor's yard, and then the neighbor began shooting, hitting the girl and her father and grazing her mother. police say

the suspect is robert singletary . right now, singletary is on the run. he is considered armed and dangerous. cnn's dianne gallagher joins us live from gaston county. diane i do understand you have an update on the condition of this family. that's right, john. in fact, about three minutes ago, i just spoke with the mother of william jamie white. that's the father of kinsley white. he is still in the hospital in charlotte. his mother told me that he was shot through the back and that the bullet actually came out the front of his torso, she said. he remains in pain, but he's getting good care. and right now he's concerned because the shooter is still on the loose. he was protecting his six year old daughter, kinsley, a neighbors tell us that they were. she was playing with other kids, all ages in the neighborhood at this basketball hoop right here in the street, and the ball rolled down into the yard of robert singletary,

and that's when he seems to get upset and started running and shooting. kinsley with the permission of her mother and grandmother spoke with local media after the shooting and just seemly. of course, she's six years old, couldn't understand why this happened. why did she shoot my daddy and me? daddy kid. dad looked at my husband and my daughter and told him i'm gonna kill you. now there is a manhunt underway right now. gaston county police . they've used the assistance of charlotte police and their helicopters as well as u. s marshals to find 24 year old robert singletary. we are told that again. they're still looking. i talked to neighbors out here a few moments ago. who told me they didn't get any sleep last night that they were very scared. they're concerned. they also told me john that he had just moved to the neighborhood about two weeks ago. they didn't know him very well at all, but seemingly was

upset with all the kids that would be running through his yard and in the neighbor. hood. the police chief put out a statement in letting people know about it, telling them that i want to say to the people of gaston county. this sort of violence will not stand again. john that shooter is still on the loose here and a man not continuously underway. incredible just incredible to see all of that happening in the yard. just right behind you. diane gallagher, thank you so much sarah. huge hassle. in florida. fuel shortages are happening more than half of all stations in miami for lauderdale area reportedly out of gas. the mayor of miami dade county joins us in just a few minutes plus and irs agent is asking for whistleblower protection, claiming to have information on what his lawyer says is mishandling of the ongoing criminal probe. into a high profile person source tells us that person hunter biden and ultra runner is disqualified after using a car on part of a 50 mile race. she says it wasn't

we're learning that the agent is also claiming to have information that directly contradicts sworn testimony. from attorney general merritt garland. cnn's paula reid is live with us in washington with details. what do you know about this agent? and what makes us think this is about 100 biden? was there. we know from our sources that this agent allegedly oversaw the investigation into hunter. biden in this letter describes this person as someone who oversaw that probe, and now they're going through the steps of proper channels to seek whistleblower protections because irs agents cannot share tax information and investigators working on criminal probes also cannot share details of that work. but if you are able to get this kind of protection, that is one way you can share what you know within this case congress, of course, federal investigators have been investigating the president's son since around 2018. we know from our reporting that they have contemplated bringing charges that include

tax crimes and even a possible false statements charge related to the purchase of a weapon. but as of now, no charges have been filed. this agent says that he has, among other things, evidence that would contradict the sworn testimony of attorney general merrick garland, who testified before congress that he would not interfere in that investigation. according to this letter that was sent to lawmakers, this person says they can share quote information related to a failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate disposition of this case and examples of preferential treatment and politics, improperly infecting decisions and protocols that would normally be followed. but sarah, we have no specific information about exactly what this person would say. republicans on the hill while the federal criminal investigation is that yielded any charges, they have launched their own investigations into the bottom family. they would shortly like to see lots of

headlines about a whistleblower and hunter biden. but at this point, it's really unclear from this letter. exactly what this person has what they would say. and what, if anything, it will mean so far. the irs, the justice department, the white house and presented for hunter biden have all declined to comment. i was just gonna ask you if there's any response at all to these new allegations, because this, of course, is going to be huge fodder. for fundraising for republicans for you know, coming up in the 2020 election? nothing at all from the white house yet. so they were asked about this actually this morning on cnn this morning, and they kicked it to the justice department. they said that it's going to be their practice not to comment on matters related to hunter biden and they defer to the justice department, which also declined to comment. so it's going to be interesting sarah to see like you said, how republicans use this if this person is able to secure these protections, and ultimately what exactly is it that they have to say? and how are they able to back it up? all right, paula reed. thank you. so much for all that reporting,

the gas in southern florida? gasbuddy is reporting that nearly 60% of all stations in the miami fort lauderdale area are out of gas now. this is partly being attributed to panic buying after last week's major storm that dumped 20 inches of rain on the area. widespread flooding did disrupt operations of fuel terminals in port everglades. mayor danielle levine kabir of miami. doit dade county joins me now, mayor thanks so much for being with us. where's the gas? thanks so much, john. we've been working hard with the residents. we know they've had some real challenges , but the gas is coming. it is now coming fully through port everglades. we've also got shipments coming from other parts of the state. so we know it's heading to the gas stations, and we need help from our residents to only purchase what they need. what happens is people go in, and they might be, uh, topping off the tank more frequently than they need to, and that, unfortunately, is making it harder for folks that don't have any guests. so we're hearing good news. more and more

people are getting the gas that they need. and we ask all of our residents to please only take what you need. you know, it's interesting. the senior senator from florida marco rubio was sort of talking about that this plea that is being made to consumers to not panic and not by, yes, but he's sort of seems to be saying. i understand why people are doing this. listen. and they're blaming it on consumer panic. yeah people are panicked because they got to get to work. they got places to go. and you either can't find gas or you have to wait in line for, like, two hours. down the street where you're probably gonna run out of gas while you're waiting. so yeah, people are panicked. and of course they're filling up saying don't fill up. of course you're going to fill up because you don't want to make you don't know the next time you're gonna have to make it to our line. they keep saying it's going to get better, but it's not. they gotta get this thing fixed. this is crazy. what do you say to senator rubio? so we know that we have to work together. as a community. we have to collaborate. we have to think about our neighbors. and that is

how we do things here in miami dade county, and i know we can get this under control. uh the gas is flowing every day. we're hearing that people are not having the problems they've had before, so we're feeling very positive that the public is responding. we have heard from people who've seen the tankers driving toward the gas station. sooner or later. this will get fixed. but who do you think is to blame for the fact that this happened at all? you know, we live in an area where we are subject to extreme weather to flooding to sea level rise and we are working very hard. we're actually at the forefront of climate change policies here in south florida, and we all know we have to build infrastructure to deal with these future weather challenges, and so we are going to be doing a debriefing on all of this and see what more we can do to prevent this sort of the situation in the future mayor if i can ask you a question about a different subject because in florida the state government has now moved in the last 24 hours to extend the ban on teaching

about gender identity and sexual orientation. that was limited to third grade. now they're extending that ban on teaching these subjects all the way through high school. what's your reaction to that? you know, john , this is really something that we don't think it's needed. we stand with people and, uh, and who they are and their identities, and i think it's very regretful. i think it's an overreach. now back to gas. if you will, for a moment, mayor, when do you think operations will be? up and running 100% again. every day is getting better. it's not something where we're going to turn the switch. the trucks are coming in. we've offered our assistance to accompany those trucks, if needed to make sure they can get to the gas stations, and we're all on alert. to do what whatever we can and we ask again , everybody to be patient. we know it is hard. it is challenging, but things are

getting better. best of luck to you, mayor. thank you so much for being with us this morning. thank you, john sarah. ukraine's rightful place is in nato. those defiant words from the nato secretary general as he went to kiev for the first time since russia invaded and the quote massive era that an ultra runner made disqualifying an international runner who had claimed to meddle in her 50 mile race. the leleaked gorilla. waterproof seal spray seals out water, air and moisture stops and prevents leaks indoors. outdoors and virtually anywhere you need available product told myself. i was okay with my merate to seve rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. with my story. attic arthritis symptoms. but just okayisn't okay. and i was done

warning this video may be disturbing. it really shows just chaos that had ensued. people were rushing to receive charity handouts from local merchants during the holy month of ramadan, and it led to tragedy. in south korea, member of a popular pop band was found dead in his home last night. police believe 25 year old moon been died by suicide news of his death had fans flocking to social media to pay tribute to the singer. and in ukraine, a bright flash was seen in the sky over keep really bright flash. this happened last night. officials originally thought it was caused by a nasa space satellite falling to earth. they've since walked that back, and they're now investigating the incident. they have said, though, that it was not a missile attack. sarah thank you. kate, a historic meeting in ukraine today, nato secretary general john stoltenberg shaking hands with ukrainian president vladimir zelensky in their first meeting since russia's war on ukraine began. obviously

panicking. the visit by the secretary general is the first since the start of the full scale war. we treat this as a sign that the alliance is ready to start a new chapter in relations with ukraine and new decisions. it's a big deal. cnn's nick paton walsh is on the ground in central ukraine with one of the more details on the significance of this meeting. potent symbolism, solidarity and certainly key timing for jens stoltenberg to be in kiev, his first visit since the beginning of the war next to ukrainian president vladimir zelensky, saying in a tweet that ukraine's rightful place is in nato. obviously it was clear this is going to take time. but this is the complete opposite. of what moscow said that their invasion was about illegal as it was trying to stop ukraine from joining nato in this in the opposite, frankly happening with increasing nato equipment,

turning out the patriot missiles announced by the ukraine defense minister in ukraine yesterday, leopard tanks said to be coming on their way today. so startling , i think to see stoltenberg stand there and deliver this key message in a matter potentially of hours or days from now we will see ukraine counter offensive. if it hasn't already begun. in some smaller ways. pick up pace become more open. certainly there, deputy defense minister there's not going to be a press release or moment in which they sort of sound the bugle and say it's begun, but all eyes really on quite what it can achieve in terms of the realities on the ground here in these difficult months ahead, a lot of nato equipment has come to try and increase their chances of success. and so a lot of expectations for whether it's able potentially to cut off crimea from the other occupied parts of ukraine, held currently by russia, but stoltenberg said he'd been to the outskirts of kiev to see bush has seen of russian atrocities. key message here certainly and zelensky keen

to point out that they believe their integration into nato is coming soon and stoltenberg they're standing shoulder to shoulder essentially with ukrainian president to deliver that message of solidarity ahead of this vitally important military move for ukraine. our cnn, central ukraine, so you just heard there from central ukraine, john alright. thanks so much, sarah. there are new damaging allegations of abuse against actor jonathan majors why his attorney insists he will be fully exonerated. first here is dr sanjay gupta on why the mediterranean diet can be so healthy that's in today's chasing life. hey there. i'm doctor sanjay gupta, host of cnn's chasing life podcast. you know, the more we examine the mediterranean diet, the better it looks. in fact, one new study found the diet might help reduce

everyone we do begin with breaking news this morning. welcome back to cnn news central top story this hour. this spacex starship explosion. the massive rocket blew up in midair shortly after it launched starship was the largest and most powerful rocket ever built. it does mark a new chapter in space exploration. also this has just come into us here at cnn, the house has voted to pass. gop led bill that would ban transgender athletes from women's and girls' sports at federally funded schools and educational institutions. the bill is not expected to be taken up, however, by the democratically controlled senate. the white house has already issued a veto threat. all of this comes amid gop led push in states across the country to pass similar bills restricting transgender athletes participation in sports. and new this morning buzzfeed. you remember those list of goals, shutting down its

news arm. the move was confirmed by the company's chief executive . in a memo to staffers, he says they no longer fun buzzfeed news as a standalone organization. this is part of buzzfeed's 15% reduction in its workforce. john. thanks, sarah. this morning. actor jonathan majors is facing new allegations of abuse sources are now telling variety that additional alleged abuse victims have come forward against the marvel star who was arrested and arraigned last month in manhattan on assault and harassment charges. cnn entertainment reporter klima loss is with us now. chloe what do we know about these new allegations? variety came out with his explosive report in which they cite unnamed sources claiming that more women have come forward to the manhattan district attorney's office with claims of alleged abuse by jonathan majors and that they are cooperating with the d a. when i spoke to the d a last night, they declined to comment, but we did receive a statement from jonathan majors, attorney. i'm going to read that to you, the attorney says. quote

jonathan majors is in innocent and has not abused anyone. we have provided irrefutable evidence to the district attorney that the charges are false. we are confident that he will be fully exonerated. and like you said this alleged incident took place in march with a woman who has not been named publicly and you know the they brought forward charges of harassment and abuse against him . and he is obviously fighting this, but we haven't heard from him directly. now fans of marvel movies know that he is now a key player in the marvel universe and where it's going. what is marvel saying about this marvel has not commented, but you are right. he has had a meteoric rise in the marvel cinematic universe. he starred in creed. there is the whole qing dynasty where he is going to have this huge movie that he was going to be at the helm of coming out in 2025, you know, not to mention, you know, this is a guy who studied at yale. his father in

the air force, and he has been all of those military adds that, as of right now have been pulled from tv and not to say that he's not capable of doing the things that he's alleged, right. but this is a big fall from grace. there are reports that even his team that represents him have parted ways and we're trying to confirm that so, you know, look through his attorney, he's denying vehemently these allegations, and i was speaking to his attorney today who is standing by the statement, and hopefully we're going to hear more and learn more in the coming hours. claim the loss. keep us posted on all of this. thanks. so much for your reporting. thank you, sarah. okay ultramarathon runner has been disqualified from an elite race where she was actually awarded the third place trophy. here's why the 50 mile race it went from manchester. to liverpool and england, and race organizers now say shouldn't actually run the whole thing the marathon or even admits that she had taken a ride in a friend's car for a portion of the competition. cnn's carolyn manno joins us now, with more on this,

carol, this runner is apologizing very much very positive eating like it's very forcefully. but what all happened here? there's more to this. well she says that it wasn't malice that it was miscommunication. this is scottish ultramarathon or you'll wash zach chef ski, and she admits that she made what she calls a massive error in actually accepting a third place trophy for finishing this ultra event in liverpool. it's 50 miles long. it took place in england a couple of weeks ago. she's 47 years old, and she told the bbc that she felt tired. she felt sick around the halfway mark of the race when she decided to jump in a friend's car up to that next checkpoint. point and she said that when she got to that next checkpoint, she told the race marshals that she had done that. but they urged her on they said, if you don't finish your really regret it, so in her mind, according to her, she said, she continued to do so, but in a non competitive way now that doesn't necessarily sync with accepting a third place trophy for not being competitive. the fourth place

runner in that race, a woman named mel sykes has since been awarded that trophy on the women's side. she describes this as good news for her, but ultimately bad for the sport, because, of course, it leaves a stain on the legitimacy of all of this. these long races. these ultramarathons how much of this is on the runner and how much is on the race officials itself who kind of tell you where to go? what to do with those things. yeah, of course. i mean, john, you're a marathon or i ran one marathon. i probably will never run one again. i mean, a half marathon is a challenge. 50 miles is completely insane. by most people's standards and logistically it's very complicated and a lot of it does fall on race organizers to make sure that there are no errors like this are no foul play, and i think that's why we're learning about this two weeks later is because the data that was picked up on whatever tracking devices of these athletes where ultimately didn't sync up with the root. and so once the race marshal and organizer's found that out. we're still putting all the

pieces together, so i don't want to give you an incorrect timeline or speculate, but i think that that's kind of how it unfolded as they realize that something was amiss, and now she's ultimately been disqualified and has said that she's very disappointed for the way that it all unfolded and that she feels like it was more a miscommunication than her being, you know, malicious or deceitful. yeah thank you so much. i have to say i am not judging. she ran. i think it was 2.5 miles at the post and the times is saying that she was in the car. i mean, 48 miles i ran the race, though, and that's true. finished fourth in his now third but didn't get the trophy handed to them. initially those 2.5 miles matter quite a bit to story that the last marathon that i ran, ran. i got a ride to it was in an animal. it was in an ambulance to the emergency room. that's different. i did get a ride to meddle. no but

you're here with alive, and that's why mark what matters this, actually now again, this seems to be a different case because the intentions here don't seem to be maligned famously in boston in 1980, rosie ruiz. won the boston marathon set a record time it turned out she didn't actually like run most of the race. i think she hopped on the subway ride or something you got to the finish line. it was later found out and she was later disqualified. and then someone else ran. so there is a history of people trying to sort of do this. not so nicely in races with, you know, having other intentions, and maybe that's what it is. i found i was doing a little research surprising and this one is this woman is a former world record holder like a wildly successful ultramarathon are already i mean, i think she finished to what did 255 255 miles and 48 hours. i mean, that's santa's, you know, we know someone who

isn't alter your you have no not done. alternately foreman is, isn't he runs marathons every week. i wonder if he wants towards black holes should ask him the next time he comes. there we go. john berman runs towards blackouts. that's right . wow it's funny end this here because this could end badly. we're so glad you're here, john. thank you for joining us. this is cnn news. central inside politics. you walked in. i'm brian curry. and today we're talking about the biggest misconception there is about replacement windows. i'm here with ted coons, the project mamanager for renewal by andersn to talk about it. one of the big things we hear from homeowners is i shouldn't need to replace my windows. they're just not that old. but here's the thing home builders put in high end kitchens and bathrooms and low end windows. just aren't that good? so even if your windows are only 7 to 10 years old, they may still need to be replaced

this so many window companies out there. what's different about your company? well besides being the full service replacement window division of anderson where the company people tend to call when they're particular about their home. they don't want just any old windows installer, so your standards for installers are pretty high. right brian, you can have the best window or door in the world, and if it's not installed correctly, it's gonna fail. so we don't hire these jack of all trades. installers do gutters and siding on the side window installation teams. do our windows year in year out , and i've done thousands of them. anytime homeowner has to deal with multiple home improvement companies get stuck in the blame game with other companies. if there's an issue, the manufacturer blames the installer. the installer blames the manufacturer with us. there's no finger pointing or blaming each other. we're both the installer and the manufacturer. 10 is it easy for a homeowner to get a price? very easy. we'll come out to your house will assess your current patio door windows, and then we'll give you an exact price

that's good for an entire year, said that's great information. thank you before april 30th when you buy one window or door, get the next 1 40% off. that's 40% off with a minimum purchase of four and our financing can help make this project more affordable. get no money down, no monthly payments and no interest for one year. this offer ends april 30th call renewal by anderson today for a free appointment. 1 805 01. 1400 . it's really been a gift having mom livwith us, but as aurse , my training told me sheeeded more help than i could provide. so i connected with the place for mom. my senior living advisor understood our unique situation. she quickly recommended communities and set up tours. a place for mom helped us get to a decision. and now mom is so well cared for our service comes at no cost to your
