And Rob and 5 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:21.719 I were just kippetzing while the news is on the 6 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:27.440 best late plans. I say that because there was a 7 00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.920 concert last weekend. Casey and the Sunshine Band played there 8 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.320 and it was to make money for Doors of Change. 9 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:43.280 President of that organization is Jeffrey Sitkov and their main 10 00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:49.799 spokesperson Aaron Murphy. Aaron isn't home at least the answer 11 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.840 machine kicks him and we call her number. I'm hoping 12 00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:58.320 whatever's delaying her, we'll be able to get in touch 13 00:00:58.399 --> 00:00:59.920 with her before the hour is up. 14 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.840 But Jeffrey, you're here and welcome aboard. 15 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.480 Thank you so much. And Aaron is trying to get 16 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:08.159 through all so give her a call again. She'll be 17 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:09.599 able to get it. She'll be able to pick it up. 18 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.760 Oh okay, so Rob, you heard it. Give Aaron a 19 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:18.159 call again, and Jeffrey, let's talk about Doors of Change. 20 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:21.480 Tell my audience all about it. 21 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:26.920 Well, there's four point two million homeless youth in America today. 22 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.879 These are youth between the ages seventeen and twenty four, 23 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.640 of the transitional age youth, so's the most underserved of 24 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.760 the entire homeless population because people think they're old enough 25 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.519 they can get by, but they come from such dysfunctional 26 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.159 families that it's safer to be on the streets in 27 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.000 their home. Forty percent of the national kids are LGBTQ 28 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.200 plus they come out and their parents kick them on 29 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.719 the streets. So you have kids they have no idea 30 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.519 what to do on the streets by themselves, don't trust anybody. 31 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.120 And we've been able to house now twenty nine hundred 32 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.480 homeless youth since two thousand and one in San Diego, 33 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.280 and we want to get more and more kids out 34 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.879 the streets because once they trust you, they want to 35 00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:08.960 get help and want to, you know, succeed. 36 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.360 But gaining their trust is a big issue because they've 37 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:20.599 been abused, they've been downtrodden, they've been harassed by police 38 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:25.919 another local law enforcement, and how are you going to 39 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.879 overcome all the damage those things have done to this 40 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:32.439 sense of trust. 41 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.879 We have in the last three years alone, replaced eight 42 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.800 hundred and sixty four youth and housing in the last 43 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.000 three years. We are experts at building trust with kids. 44 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.360 Once they see that you come through it's your word 45 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.800 and quickly, and then we you know, we we care, 46 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.479 We don't judge them, we love them and let them 47 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.960 come to us when it's they're ready. They're not used 48 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.400 to that, but very quickly they realize that we're there 49 00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.360 to help them. And that's why we've literally helped thousands 50 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.840 of kids of the last twenty three years get the 51 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.800 services they need to be able to get off the streets. 52 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.199 And I see the content you that you had last 53 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:15.199 weekend with Casey in the Sunshine Band. Of the ticket 54 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.360 sales went to the charity, and that's very rare. 55 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.439 Yes, it is. We raised over two hundred thousand hours 56 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.759 in sponsorships because sponsors that see us every year, that 57 00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.560 go to our concerts are actually literally see the youth 58 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.120 from stage every year, see them their success stories. We 59 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.039 have so many success stories of these youth and as 60 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.560 you know, it's very hard to trust today. There's so 61 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.319 many organizations you know, who do I trust? But if 62 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.560 they see you every year and they see the success 63 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.639 stories right in front of them, they realize that we're 64 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.240 doing is the real deal, and that's why we hit 65 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.159 over a thousand people there on Saturday night. It was 66 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.479 the best evoun we've ever done in twenty three years. 67 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.039 And now we've joined bank eron Aeron Murphy Good Evening 68 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:58.960 erin Hello. 69 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.120 Hello there. 70 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.919 I was going to lead with you, but I've led 71 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:13.199 with Jeffrey and he's gotten across the numbers and the circumstances. 72 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:14.639 I know. 73 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.720 I just heard him to us have. 74 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:22.720 Changed now real quick, only because where your fame comes from. 75 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.879 It is one of the most beloved TV shows ever, Bewitched, 76 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:32.160 and most people don't know your backstory. You are hired 77 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.160 for that show before you even turn. 78 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.120 Two years old, that's right. 79 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.000 What do you remember about the process that went into 80 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.720 you being hired to play Tabitha. 81 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.680 Stevens, Well, the audition process I've heard about many many 82 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.560 times over the years. I don't actually remember the audition 83 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.920 at one I remember shortly after that on set, but 84 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:59.680 they were basically doing a nationwide search to cast the 85 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.720 part of Tabitha. The third season it Bewitched was the 86 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:06.319 season I started, and the season that the show turned 87 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:11.360 to color, and they really wanted someone who looked like 88 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.800 Elizabeth Montgomery who could. They wanted the character Tabith to 89 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.000 be the focus of a bunch of episodes that I 90 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.720 was lucky enough to be brought in, and also lucky 91 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.240 enough I have a fraternal twin sister, And while they 92 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:32.040 did audition some solo young actors, they were primarily looking 93 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.639 for twins. So since I have a fraternal twin, we 94 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.959 were able to get in. And then I kind of 95 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.560 took over the part shortly after, since we really don't 96 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:41.439 look that much alike. 97 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.800 But I was about to comment, and you said it yourself, 98 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.600 there was a resemblance. As you get older, three five, 99 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.879 seven years old, there was a similarity in your look 100 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:55.279 to Elizabeth Montgomery. 101 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.199 Well, thank you. They were actually casting someone to look 102 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.720 like and as an adult, I probably look more like 103 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.639 Samantha than I do like Elizabeth Montgomery, if that makes 104 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:06.519 any sense at all. 105 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:09.000 Oh my goodness. 106 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.319 Now I'm going to ask you a question, not let 107 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.759 you answer, because I have a break to take. When 108 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.040 we come back from the break, i'll let you answer it. 109 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.680 And I just want to know how did you get 110 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:25.279 involved with Doors of Change?

You should write these 132 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.959 things down, so if you want to make a donation, 133 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:55.079 you know to where to send your check. Doors of 134 00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:00.800 Change and they have locations in La Chicago, Buffalo, DC, 135 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.759 San Diego and other communities around the country. Aaron I 136 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:10.519 asked you, how did you get involved with Doors of Change? 137 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:15.319 Well, Doors of Change appeals to almost everything that appeals 138 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:19.680 to me. It's an organization that's based on helping children 139 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:23.160 and helping the homeless. It's based in California, where I 140 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:27.480 was born and raised and still primarily lived. So it's 141 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.000 the funny story about how I got involved with this concert. 142 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.039 A very good friend of mine, Anson Williams, who used 143 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:34.679 to play potsy on Happy Days. 144 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.639 I've interviewed Anson, I've had him my station before. 145 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:41.279 He's a great guy, very good friend. He had hosted 146 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:44.759 their concert last year and he booked a job. So 147 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.320 whenever someone replaces Antson Williams, they think, oh, Aaron Murphy 148 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:54.639 should replace Anson Williams. So I was called aboard by Jeffrey. 149 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.080 They told me about the organization and I kind of 150 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.000 jumped in right away. And one of the reasons that 151 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.679 they were able to donate one hundred percent of the 152 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:06.720 because I donated my time. 153 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:13.240 Okay, and Jeffrey, how is it that that figure was 154 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.960 able to be reached, that all the money coming in 155 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.519 from the case seeing the Sunshine Band concert, and I'm 156 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:23.919 sure that everybody clearly remembers do a little dance, make 157 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:25.200 a little love, get down tonight. 158 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:26.000 Yep. 159 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:28.639 How is it that you were able to make sure 160 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.440 all that money was funneled right into Doors of Change? 161 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.759 Because we have over forty wonderful sponsors that have been 162 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.480 with us for years, many of them that have actually 163 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:44.000 seen firsthand the youth that we help every year. They 164 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.799 see them grow on stage and they know that it's 165 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.240 the real deal. And so we raised over two hundred 166 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:52.120 thousand hours in sponships this year, which not only took 167 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.039 care of all the underwriting for the concert in the 168 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:59.240 VIP party, but they actually put eighty thousand hours additionally 169 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.600 into our program. And it allowed everybody that went to 170 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:06.960 the concert that their proceeds went to our program because 171 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:08.960 everything was taken care of, everything was paid for, and 172 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:10.200 of the costs were taken care of. 173 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.480 Now, what are you going to do next year? To 174 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:14.440 talk yourselves? 175 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.879 We've had in the last four years, You've had Los Lobos, 176 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.080 Three Dog Night, Ben Harper, Casey in the Sun, Gen Ban, 177 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:25.799 all great groups. Yes, no matter who we have, the 178 00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.879 most important thing is that people are going to go 179 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.559 to be educated about the homeless youth issue. They're going 180 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:34.200 to see some success stories on stage, which they're rocky stories. 181 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:38.120 These kids overcome all obstacles and it really touches people's 182 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.279 hearts and then whatever the music is, it's going to 183 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.039 be great. So every year we just see when we 184 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.360 can make it happen, but it'll be once a year 185 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.039 we have our event. 186 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.600 Good analogy when you say a rocky story, because everybody 187 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:53.399 knows that Rags to Riches's story. Yes, and I have 188 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:58.039 been to Philadelphia. I have been to the museum where 189 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.720 his statue. I know it was there that moved and 190 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:07.279 brought back again. I've touched that statue yep. And not 191 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.320 that it has anything. Oh well, see there you go. 192 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:12.759 I ran up the steps. 193 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:14.559 I didn't do that, Aaron. 194 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.120 Yeah. I mean just to let you know. One of 195 00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.519 our youth this year, Sergio, not only was he homeless 196 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:26.000 because both of his parents were matheadicts, but they actually 197 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.519 you know, he left the house at fourteen years old. 198 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.279 Then he came down with uh with lymphoma. Hopkins did. 199 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.600 He's lymphoma stage four and you know he's close to death. 200 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.159 He had chemotherapy, everything, and he's still going to college, 201 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.000 still getting a's in college, wants to be a dentist 202 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:47.279 and be a surgeon to help disadvantage youth with dental care. 203 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:48.720 That's the kind of youth we help. 204 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:52.879 And that's a clear cut, rocky story. I don't know 205 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:58.600 if you've heard, but Leam, Massachusetts have had issues primarily 206 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:06.080 with immigrants coming looking for housing and hoping to further 207 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:13.039 their dream of coming to America. And I'm wondering if 208 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:19.559 an overlap of the youth that in these cities you mentioned, Chicago, Buffalo, Washington, 209 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:25.440 LA and San Diego, if they have had I don't 210 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:31.000 know how to say this, an over influx of troubled teens, 211 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:39.519 disadvantage teens that are immigrants, or primarily primarily a system 212 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.200 to help those American youth. 213 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.480 We help every use. It doesn't matter where they're from, 214 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.360 but we you know, most of these kids are throwaway kids. 215 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.639 Their parents are so dysfunctional, they're drug addicts, alcoholics, they're 216 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:55.879 mentally ill, and it's safer for them to be in 217 00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.600 the streets in their home. And you know, it's just 218 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.120 that wherever they from the between seventeen and twenty four, 219 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:04.240 we will help them. And just so you know, we're 220 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:08.360 only in San Diego, California. We actually mentored Chicago, Washingt 221 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:13.480 d C. And another city, Philadelphia, when we had our 222 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:15.759 national walk about ten years ago. But we are only 223 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:19.200 in San Diego. That's enough work to do just here alone. 224 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:23.559 But we always share, you know, our secrets for free 225 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:25.679 with people because we you know, we want to have 226 00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.759 as many kids off the streets as possible, and we 227 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.519 have a very successful program. So when people call me 228 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.320 from all over the country, we readily share what we 229 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.600 do because we want them to help kids in their community. 230 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:40.720 How are you doing with the gang situation, because I 231 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:48.840 know street kids are just the food. Not to be 232 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.360 impolite when I say that that gangs are looking for 233 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:58.120 to increase their numbers. 234 00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:57.879 I mean our kids are. Some of them were in 235 00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:01.200 gangs sometimes it was actually safe for being a gang 236 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.679 then and they're set you know, on their streets by themselves. 237 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.080 So it just depends on the situation. But you know, 238 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:09.039 we are there to help people that want to help themselves, 239 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.039 and we will help anybody from seventeen to twenty four 240 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:16.720 if they're homeless or on the verge of being homeless, 241 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:17.799 we will help them. 242 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.519 I am reaching thirty eight states and a significant part 243 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:27.200 of Canada with my signal. Can people are alluded to 244 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:31.240 this about five minutes ago. Can people dash off a 245 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:32.000 check to you? 246 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:36.000 Absolutely, you know what I recommend is number one if 247 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.720 you're touched by what you hear with us, we we 248 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.279 appreciate donations of any mood. Because we are so busy. 249 00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:45.639 We had to hire a third full time case manager 250 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.320 of fifty five thousand dollars a year. That's a lot 251 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.080 of money for a grassroots organization, but we are seeing 252 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:53.399 so many. We're seen between one hundred to one hundred 253 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:55.600 and twenty five youth a month. That's a lot of kids. 254 00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.799 So they can go to doorsof change dot org. Doors 255 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.559 is plural. It changed out or I asked going to 256 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:03.919 be on the Angel Team. We trademarked the name Angel 257 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.320 Team from the California Angels and for eighteen dollars a 258 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.039 month or thirty six dollars a month, they're fifty four 259 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.120 dollars a month in multiples of eighteen. They can join 260 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:15.919 our Angel Team and get a monthly donation. That would 261 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:19.279 help us tremendously by getting monthly donations, and again it's 262 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:21.480 two hundred and sixteen dollars a year at eighteen dollars 263 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:24.320 a month. We appreciate everybody's help. 264 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.000 Okay, and and we're not to leave you out of 265 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:34.360 the conversation. I get the feeling that you truly enjoyed 266 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:37.519 your eight yet, well, five of the eight years that 267 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.799 show was on, you were part of six of fine, 268 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.879 So you were part of it for six years and 269 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:46.720 those were pleasant years for you? 270 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:47.279 Were they not? 271 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:48.320 Oh? 272 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:51.159 Christ, they were wonderful years. I grew up at Unicorns 273 00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.879 and Monkeys and Elizabeth Montgomery and Agnes Moorehead. They were 274 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:55.879 great years. 275 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:01.600 Did you understand that at an early age the legends 276 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:07.879 that you were working with, Elizabeth Montgomery, Maurice Evans, Paul Lynn. 277 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:12.240 No go ahead, you could go on and on and 278 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:18.200 name names. And I had no realization of their fame 279 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.480 or their star power until I was basically an adult. 280 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:25.399 Because to me, they were my TV family, and I 281 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:28.320 loved them like family members. And I knew that it 282 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:31.919 was work, but they were my work family, so I 283 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.120 loved them and did not know how famous they were 284 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:35.000 until much later. 285 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:37.799 What was the last episode of The Witch that you 286 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:38.519 have seen? 287 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:43.360 Oh gosh, it's silly, but I don't really watch it 288 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:46.519 that often. If it's on somewhere. I would certainly never 289 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.320 have someone turn it off, but it's kind of like 290 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.919 home movies to me. I will say that today I 291 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.120 watched a couple of clips because I'm trying to be 292 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.320 more active with my Facebook. Everyone is pushing me to 293 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:00.559 do that. So since we're in in the midst of 294 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.600 the Olympics, I watched the episode where they were trying 295 00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:07.279 to make Tabitha my character and Olympic ice skater. So 296 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:09.680 I watched that since there was a gold medalist in that, 297 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:11.960 and I posted a little bit on my Facebook, so 298 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.519 I can say that's the last episode I watched a 299 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:15.119 little bit of. 300 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.079 It and your Facebook.

I've been doing this 346 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:47.559 from day one, twenty three years ago. I wanted to 347 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.519 help kids. I went an outreach one night just to 348 00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:52.599 see I didn't have any idea of their homeless youth 349 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:54.240 in our community. When I heard there were I said, 350 00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:56.279 I've got to check this out, so I want an 351 00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.960 outreach one night, and that night literally changed my life. 352 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.079 I've been doing it for twenty three years ever since, 353 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:04.680 and almost three thousand kids. Now we've gotten off the 354 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:08.119 streets because I just feel it's so important these youth 355 00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.160 that no one is helping and they're the future, and 356 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:13.400 everybody wants to you know, help homelessness. How do you 357 00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:16.039 help homelessness? Well, you start by helping the youth that 358 00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:17.799 are on the streets, because if you can get them 359 00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:20.200 off the streets, they're not gonna be a thirty forty 360 00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:22.319 fifty year old. If you take care of when they're 361 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:23.960 in the teens, you know what I mean, when they're 362 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.400 transitional kids. They can be role models for others to follow, 363 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.160 give them hope that they can get off the streets. 364 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:35.279 You were mentioning a success story of he was a 365 00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:41.359 kid on the street, Sergio, and he's been driven to 366 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:48.240 get schooling, attend college, and basically pull himself up by 367 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.960 his bootstraps. Are there any other success stories you want 368 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:52.559 to share. 369 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:53.039 With the audience? Oh? 370 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.440 My god, and Aaron's met some of them. We're so blessed. 371 00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.599 We actually had seven success stories at the event on Saturday, 372 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.559 and one of the big ones is that Justine. She 373 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.559 was homeless from twelve to sixteen because her mom was 374 00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:08.559 an alcoholic and her boyfriend U said, drag her by 375 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:10.960 her hair started taking her clothes off. When she was 376 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.960 twelve years old, she ran away. She joined a gang. 377 00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:16.680 She felt it was safer with the gang. All I 378 00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:20.680 can tell you is from our mentoring and from our program. 379 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.920 She graduated in law school last year. 380 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:24.960 Oh, there is a success story. 381 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:31.599 And I'm glad you mentioned Justine because I'm assuming it's 382 00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:35.960 tougher on the women out there, not that boys aren't 383 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:41.759 sexually abused, yes, but it's tougher on the women because 384 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:47.279 of that issue is normally the first issue to which 385 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:48.359 they are exposed. 386 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:51.200 Yes, it is tougher on the I mean it's tough 387 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:54.880 on everybody, but it is very difficult to have a woman, 388 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:58.359 a girl that's seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old, that's 389 00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:01.960 on the streets. She doesn't trust anybody, and you know, 390 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:05.119 it's very difficult. But thank god, we have many success 391 00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:08.039 stories of girls that you know, that didn't take no 392 00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.640 for an answer and pull themselves up. We gave them 393 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.160 all the case management, all the whether it's whether it's 394 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.400 you know, mental illness is a big deal, and mental 395 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:20.599 health is a huge deal. So we get them hooked 396 00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:24.480 up with psychiatrists and psychologists to help them process to 397 00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:27.440 all the trauma on the streets. And they have to 398 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.240 do that to be able to get to the next level. 399 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:32.240 And so that's a very important part as we work 400 00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:35.400 on their whole being, you know, so they stay off 401 00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:35.880
