( KLFY ) — Just a few weeks ago, Donna Angelle was recognized by the city of St. Martinville for her contribution to zydeco music. But now she’s in need after recently becoming a victim of theft.
Angelle said having to start completely over at 73 years old is hard. Especially when all she has to rely on for income is her music.
Angelle said her purse, which contained her wallet with her personal information, was taken after she left it on a counter at a store. When she got into her vehicle, she noticed her purse was missing.
“They had everything, social security cards, and driver’s license,” she said.
Angelle said she had to close her bank account and start completely over and get new information. Every time funds were deposited, she said a purchase not made by her was made.
Right now, her source of income comes from her music, she said.
