‘I’ve got what I need’: Henrico woman surprises helpful neighbor with Acts of Kindness Award

HENRICO, Va. (WWBT) - For Tammy Feliciano, life hasn’t dealt her the fairest hand. From losing her only means of transportation to burying her father at the start of the pandemic, it’s been hard.

Now, she does what she can to take care of herself, her mom and their dog, which oftentimes means getting groceries delivered or even walking to the store.
