<v Speaker 1>Celebrating American independence and like recognize the sacrifices to the

2
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>people who made for us. Happy fourth or July fifty

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:16.480
<v Speaker 2>ATO five, a fifty five KRCD talk station, A very

5
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:17.600
<v Speaker 2>happy Independence Day.

6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 3>Eve.

7
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Hope you got some nice plan set out for this celebration,

8
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:23.679
<v Speaker 2>and I hope you're celebrating the independence of our country.

9
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.039
<v Speaker 2>And I'm fully appreciative of the direction that seems to

10
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 2>be going. But one of the great things we do

11
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 2>have in our country are folks that willing to step

12
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.600
<v Speaker 2>up to the plate, engage in charity, help other people

13
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.520
<v Speaker 2>that are truly on life's margins. And you know, sometimes

14
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.640
<v Speaker 2>they have a religious mission behind that effort. Sometimes it's

15
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 2>a simple altruism. But we've got a combination of both

16
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 2>here in studio, Sam Jasper and Brian Ibol. You know,

17
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.479
<v Speaker 2>he's got to remember Brian, he's the original creator of

18
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>and founder of a charity on the West Side called

19
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 2>the Help Squad, And I will recommend you stop by

20
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 2>the website The Help Squad Sincy with a y dot

21
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>com and their Christian faith based mission five on one

22
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 2>to three c helping struggling working families on the west Side. Brian,

23
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 2>you've been on the and Sam both being on the

24
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 2>program a few times, and I just want you to

25
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 2>give my listeners a reminder about, first off, what you

26
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 2>do and the type of services you offer, and we'll

27
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 2>get an update on some of the great things you've

28
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>been able to do for some folks who've gotten your assistance,

29
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.840
<v Speaker 2>and we'll talk about an upcoming fundraiser event we're going

30
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.359
<v Speaker 2>to be doing. So somebody take the floor and talk

31
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 2>about you're the creator of it, You're behind it, Brian Ibold,

32
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.159
<v Speaker 2>What was the impetus behind starting this out and how

33
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 2>many years you've been around now?

34
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 1>So first of all, thanks for having us back out.

35
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Last time I was here, I was a little anxiety ridden,

36
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>so I have broken my prozacts in half. This time

37
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm much calmer time, so thank you for having us back. So,

38
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>first of all, we have been around about four years,

39
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>so I retired from the police department in twenty twenty.

40
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 1>We were established in twenty twenty one. But I think

41
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the first thing we need to do is just to

42
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 1>figure out exactly what is the health squad, what do

43
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.719
<v Speaker 1>we do, and so just to give the listeners an idea.

44
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 1>So the Help Squad is a Christian based to five

45
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 1>oh one C three nonprofit organization and we assist financially

46
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 1>struggling families focusing on single moms and dads on the

47
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>west side of town. Only. It's just restricted to the.

48
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.680
<v Speaker 2>West side as a Bran Jivia Colerain Dell High in

49
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Green Townships.

50
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes, sir, that's the only side we can do. This

51
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>is the west side right now. Our vision, of course,

52
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 1>is to expand this everywhere. I have a Help Squad,

53
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>nor would Help Squad, Blue Ash, Help Squad Westchester. But

54
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>that's a vision and with the Lord's blessing, we'll get there.

55
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>But not there just yet.

56
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>No, I understand that. And I'm honestly, being a west

57
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 2>Side born and raised a young person, I'm glad you're

58
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>looking out for the folks on the west side. I'm

59
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.120
<v Speaker 2>not sure where the allocation of resources are, but I

60
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:51.000
<v Speaker 2>would imagine probably more heavily concentrated in the city or

61
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 2>unless you're working with something like the United Way and

62
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 2>dealing with the bureaucracy associated with that. So you're kind

63
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 2>of a horse of a different color when it comes

64
00:02:58.560 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 2>to charitable organizations.

65
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, you know, one of the toughest things we

66
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>deal with is the majority of the people that ask

67
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 1>for our help they don't live in the four service areas.

68
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 1>So that just goes to show you that there are

69
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>plenty of areas that other people need help that we

70
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 1>can't help. So if anybody on the east side, west side,

71
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 1>or I'm sorry, east side and north side, south side,

72
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>anywhere that want to step up and create a help

73
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>squad in their neighborhood, give me a call, give you

74
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 1>my number, or over the air. I don't care. But

75
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>because we need, we need help, and we need our

76
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>vision is to have this in every neighborhood, not just

77
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 1>on the west side of town.

78
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>And you can provide guidance to that newly started out organization,

79
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 2>like what it's like to go from an inception to actually,

80
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 2>we've already done the hard work, we're already established. So

81
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 2>the template is there. Take on his challenge, get on

82
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 2>the help out squad in your neighborhood. Wake up, let's

83
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 2>do it all right. So services you offer for the

84
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.639
<v Speaker 2>people you serve so well, we do, okay.

85
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.639
<v Speaker 1>So you have a lot of nonprofits to do the basics,

86
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 1>and they're great. The Food Clothing Shelter However, we take

87
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>it to another step where we will assist people with

88
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>utility shut offs. Let's say your water, your electric shot off,

89
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 1>We'll turn it back on, or we'll prevent it from

90
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.639
<v Speaker 1>being shut off. Car repairs, that's a big one. I'll

91
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 1>get somebody with a car repair. Can't afford it, We'll

92
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>fix it. We've gifted cars. I bet we've given almost

93
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>a dozen cars away to people in desperate need and

94
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 1>dire need of transportation. We pay back rents to avoid eviction.

95
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you know have families we have prevented from being

96
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>thrown on the street and because we save them from eviction?

97
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 1>How many? Well, I mean just this year alone, what

98
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>are we in half of this month, we're probably in

99
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 1>I'd say forty families from eviction, no kids only the

100
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 1>half of the year something like that might be more.

101
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>And then if you take the families and help many kids,

102
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 1>and what are with it? This is hundreds of people

103
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 1>from being thrown on the street, is what we're going.

104
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 1>So I don't see how like people are not calling us,

105
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 1>like politicians people in charge and saying, hey, you have

106
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 1>a great idea. How do we get involved? How do

107
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>we help? Because you guys are doing it right. So

108
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 1>my phones are here, I'm waiting for or to ring.

109
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, I'll give you my number if you

110
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>want to go ahead and give it out. Go ahead, okay,

111
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 1>if you want to do the Lord's work and you

112
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>want to make a difference in the world, call this

113
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>number five one three, six, seven eight eight nine eight six.

114
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>It's my direct number. And we can together, we can

115
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:20.839
<v Speaker 1>do this and we can make this happen because we've

116
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 1>all been told well, you can't do this and you

117
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 1>can't do that, and it's always going to be like this.

118
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have to be. And we're we're we're living

119
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>proof of it.

120
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 2>So and I you mentioned that you have gotten people cars.

121
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Obviously someone donates a car to you. Do you accept

122
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 2>those contributions? I mean, film calls you up and say, hey,

123
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.680
<v Speaker 2>I got a car, runs fine, don't need it anymore,

124
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.399
<v Speaker 2>It's got one hundred thousand miles on it, but it

125
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 2>runs great. I mean, will you pick that up or

126
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>do you have a place where people drop that off?

127
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.560
<v Speaker 2>How do you work with that? Because you know, I'm

128
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 2>thinking of like Saint Vincent de Paul. You know, they

129
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 2>got trucks out there, they drive over to people's places,

130
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:54.839
<v Speaker 2>they get the furniture and they take it back and

131
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:56.319
<v Speaker 2>put it to the charitable cause.

132
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you operate on along a similar line, Yeah, so,

133
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 1>answers real quick, I'll turn over to Sam. So yeah.

134
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:03.879
<v Speaker 1>So what we'll do is, so somebody wants to donate

135
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>a car to us, we'll certainly take it, even if

136
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>knees repair. So we have a company over in Green

137
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 1>Township Broken Folds oil. Okay, they're on Bridge and the

138
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 1>road right by Wardway Fuels. They give us ten thousand

139
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>dollars a year. Matt Brogan gives us ten thousand dollars

140
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.399
<v Speaker 1>a year in free repairs. So if somebody wants to

141
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 1>do he's a great he is a wonderful dude. If

142
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.839
<v Speaker 1>someone donates a car to us for you know, for free,

143
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 1>or even if we buy a car for two grand,

144
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 1>we take it there and get it fixed for free.

145
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 1>For a two thousand dollars investment, we've just given somebody

146
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:40.040
<v Speaker 1>in dire need of transportation a very safe and dependable car.

147
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>And we also usually pay the first three months of

148
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 1>car insurance too to help the person out. So it's

149
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>just really it's really good stuff, really good things. Man.

150
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's got to really make your day.

151
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:51.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's very rewarding. Man.

152
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>You help somebody keep their job, You help somebody keep

153
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 2>a paycheck coming in, You help somebody that's able to

154
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 2>continue to live on with their life. Yeah, that's cool.

155
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Let me just if I can just give you this

156
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.319
<v Speaker 1>real example. I don't want to turn over saying because

157
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 1>I want Sam to talk about a couple of things.

158
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>But so I've been here before talking about the humanity.

159
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Humanitarian part of this, like help people, help people, help people. Okay,

160
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it resonates with some people. Some

161
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Speaker 1>of it does, some it doesn't. So I'm going to

162
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>turn you over to money. Now. This will resonate to

163
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 1>people because it's money. Everybody wants this money, money, money, money.

164
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.439
<v Speaker 1>So if you have a single mother who is working

165
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>every day, the mother of three works every day, makes

166
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.639
<v Speaker 1>ends me. And that's the people we help, the working poor. Right, Okay,

167
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I was raised by a single mother. I know how

168
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.439
<v Speaker 1>these women struggle. I see this, I saw it, and

169
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I see it today, this single mother struggling. Her car

170
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.759
<v Speaker 1>breaks down. Brian, it's five hundred dollars to repair it.

171
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Now you have five hundred dollars I have five hundred dollars.

172
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Even if I didn't, none of us had, We could

173
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.439
<v Speaker 1>find five hundred dollars. We have friends, family, they have

174
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>five hundred dollars. These people don't. They don't have five

175
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars. Their parents don't have five hours, their friends

176
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.439
<v Speaker 1>won't have five hundred dollars. They don't have a credit

177
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>card to put five hundred dollars on it. They can't

178
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>get the car fixed. Mom can't get the car fixed,

179
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.040
<v Speaker 1>she can't get to work. Can't get to work, you

180
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.199
<v Speaker 1>don't have a paycheck, don't have a paycheck, don't pay

181
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>your rent, and guess what, you're evicted, right, You're evicted.

182
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>So there's a stat In twenty eighteen, eighty three thousand

183
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:12.279
<v Speaker 1>dollars is spent on a mother with to at least

184
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>two single or two children. Single mom with two children

185
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.279
<v Speaker 1>in twenty eighteen eighty three grand a year. So when

186
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>this mom who now because you can't get her car fix,

187
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:25.000
<v Speaker 1>is fired or as loser job, now she's on government

188
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>assistance for eighty three thousand dollars for the year. If

189
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>we just would have invested the five hundred dollars, we've

190
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 1>just saved eight two five hundred dollars on this family alone. Okay,

191
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>so if you want to give us a million dollars,

192
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>we could save the government twenty million fifty million. So

193
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 1>this has to resonate with somebody, like somebody should be

194
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:48.200
<v Speaker 1>calling like, wait, these guys are onto something. Let's help.

195
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And it's easy to do that. Your money is

196
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:55.840
<v Speaker 2>absolutely well spent. I've criticized some other major charitable organizations

197
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.799
<v Speaker 2>because of the massive overhead they have, the bureaucracy, the

198
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.960
<v Speaker 2>salaries that are paid, and that's certainly not the case

199
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 2>with the Help Squad. So it's the help Squad. Since

200
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 2>he with a Y dot org, can you throws some

201
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.639
<v Speaker 2>money their way and they will make the most of

202
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>that money. And it's great illustration of the realities and

203
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.240
<v Speaker 2>the practical realities of the problem that these people you

204
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 2>serve face. So let's help them keep their job, let's

205
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.679
<v Speaker 2>get their car running, let's help them with that back

206
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:21.759
<v Speaker 2>rent and get them back on their feet and so

207
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:26.039
<v Speaker 2>they can move forward. More. With Brian and Sam, we'll

208
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.840
<v Speaker 2>get some more stories and some other informations. It'll be

209
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Sam's turn to speak when we get back. Faus for

210
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 2>a minute to be right back after these brief words.

219
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.120

222
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.960
<v Speaker 2>website and learn about what they do. And you mentioned

223
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Brogan Folds the auto repair people, and what a wonderful

224
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.799
<v Speaker 2>thing donating ten thousand dollars worth of auto repairs to

225
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.080
<v Speaker 2>get those cars fixed for people to use. I imagine

226
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 2>you're probably looking for some other community partners that can

227
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.600
<v Speaker 2>volunteer services along the same lines. Not necessarily an outright

228
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.639
<v Speaker 2>here's a check kind of thing, but hey, we do

229
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.600
<v Speaker 2>fill in the black, like carpentry projects or something. I

230
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:31.759
<v Speaker 2>know you've done some other projects like in people's home

231
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:33.080
<v Speaker 2>over the years as well, so.

232
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 3>Right right, yeah, So we are looking for community partners

233
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.120
<v Speaker 3>like Matt Brogan at Brogan Foles. Such a great team

234
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.200
<v Speaker 3>out there, but we can't do this alone. We need

235
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:48.879
<v Speaker 3>community partners to step up. Whether it's auto repair, whether

236
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.960
<v Speaker 3>it's home repairs, whether it is also like AC units

237
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.159
<v Speaker 3>that's a big thing right now, air conditioning repair and

238
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 3>heat and air those are all very important services. So

239
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 3>anybody out there who owns a business who would be

240
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:12.039
<v Speaker 3>willing to donate services and their time for our families,

241
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.799
<v Speaker 3>that would be great. You could reach out to us

242
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:18.440
<v Speaker 3>through our website and just fill out the contact form.

243
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 3>Brian just gave his phone number, so you can you

244
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:26.600
<v Speaker 3>could contact him directly website, yeah, or use the website

245
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.440
<v Speaker 3>probably the best option, and then we can reach back

246
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.519
<v Speaker 3>out to you. We would love to have you join

247
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.879
<v Speaker 3>our team, and we are trying to build that base,

248
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.039
<v Speaker 3>you know. And our volunteers have been so great, but

249
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 3>a lot of our volunteers do still work, like I

250
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:46.679
<v Speaker 3>work full time and a lot of our volunteers do work,

251
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:51.240
<v Speaker 3>so we always need more volunteers to join the crew

252
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.120
<v Speaker 3>and that way we can you know, cover when people

253
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 3>go on vacation and things like that and that really

254
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 3>helps us so we can be efficient and effect helping

255
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.399
<v Speaker 3>people as quickly as possible.

256
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's great. Yeah, so I understand.

257
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you've got some awards to prove that you're

258
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>the real deal too. So an extent, someone's like, what's

259
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.600
<v Speaker 2>the help Squad? Never heard of them helps Squad sinceiwwy

260
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.279
<v Speaker 2>dot com. But what about some you've gotten some recent

261
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.240
<v Speaker 2>acknowledgments and awards for the work that you're doing.

262
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.440
<v Speaker 3>We have Yeah, I mean, well, we certainly don't do this,

263
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:24.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, for the recognition, but you know, it is

264
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:27.960
<v Speaker 3>very nice when people step up and say, hey, we

265
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.000
<v Speaker 3>see what you're doing, We see the kind of impact

266
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.879
<v Speaker 3>that you're making in the community and the families that

267
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 3>you're helping. We have an organization that is called Since

268
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.879
<v Speaker 3>He Serves, and they're associated with the Cincinnati Open and

269
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Fifth Third Bank that's coming this summer in August with

270
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.279
<v Speaker 3>the tennis tournament, and they are awarding the Help Squad

271
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 3>a fifty three hundred dollars grant.

272
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 1>All nice.

273
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and they're recognizing our organization for the work that

274
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.759
<v Speaker 3>we've been doing. So Brian's gonna receive that award, and

275
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:06.960
<v Speaker 3>I think that's on August fourteenth, so we'll be recognized

276
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:08.919
<v Speaker 3>during that Cincinnati open event.

277
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Well that's great, you know, word of mouth and it's

278
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:13.000
<v Speaker 2>just one more vehicle to get the word out about

279
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>the organization. More people will find out about it, and

280
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:19.080
<v Speaker 2>hopefully more people will volunteer services, goods, and of course

281
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:22.720
<v Speaker 2>their time and money to support your cause and for

282
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.200
<v Speaker 2>the purpose of growing it. I imagine limited resources. Mean,

283
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.240
<v Speaker 2>there's maybe these are there people that you have to

284
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>say no to so they are vetted. But the people

285
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.679
<v Speaker 2>that are vetted and that are deserving of help and

286
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.399
<v Speaker 2>need it and it's legitimate. If we have the funding,

287
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.919
<v Speaker 2>of course we will help them. And what I like

288
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.039
<v Speaker 2>to report is that all our funds have been given

289
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:45.679
<v Speaker 2>It's through people. It's not government. We don't get grants,

290
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.159
<v Speaker 2>it's people just give us the money to help other people.

291
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:49.039
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing.

292
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>What a concept, right, But if the four years we've

293
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>been around we have never had to turn someone down

294
00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>because of lack of lack of funds, is that amazing

295
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>That that's God's gift right there? Then yeah, I'll hear that.

296
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:04.559
<v Speaker 1>That's try that well.

297
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.960
<v Speaker 3>And then we also partner with other organizations like the
