Young philanthropist, activist and entrepreneur Elizabeth “Lizzie” Asher has announced the launch of her new non-profit The Cura Collective.

Maribel, hails from Honduras, where her early love for confections was evident as she began selling candies to her neighbors at the tender age of 8.

I made a deposit of two checks almost two weeks ago and TD Bank put holds on them both, refuses to allow me access to my money, even know I contacted the people who wrote the checks and they said they were paid to TD Bank. TD Bank has no customer service. Several phone calls for a total wait time of over 6 hours. You can call during the day or late at night, it does not matter. There is no customer service at TD Bank.
