00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>has it been since she's launched the Help Squad?

27
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 4>So started in twenty twenty when I retire, So we're

28
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.519
<v Speaker 4>going about five years now, no kidding, Yeah, wow, I

29
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 4>can't believe that much time has flown the Help Squad

30
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.159
<v Speaker 4>since he with a wide dot comms where you find

31
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 4>them online.

32
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Give my listeners a couple of illustrations of what you've

33
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>been able to do for folks of late, you know,

34
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 1>the situation that led any given person to your doorstep

35
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>and your lending support.

36
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I mean how much time we got you know.

37
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean we've turned on utilities for people that didn't

38
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 4>have water and gas and elector. We've done that, and

39
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 4>I when we do that weekly. We've we've fixed repaired

40
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 4>cars for single moms that couldn't get to work. That

41
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.719
<v Speaker 4>happens quite often. Yeah, we've given I think this is

42
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 4>the last time I've been on here, we've probably gifted

43
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 4>four cars.

44
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean people will donate cars. That's wonderful.

45
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 4>We take it to Broken Foles right behind Ward Way

46
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 4>Fuels over there in the heart of Green Township and

47
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 4>they fix the cars for free up to ten thousand

48
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 4>dollars a year. That's what Matt Broken Foles does. So

49
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.639
<v Speaker 4>if you're a car fix go to Matt Brogan and

50
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 4>Broken Foles because they give, I mean they give, They

51
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 4>give ten grand. Now could you imagine if five other

52
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 4>service stations in Green Township or Dala High if they

53
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 4>gave ten grand to we even never spend a penny

54
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 4>on fixing a car, and that would save us money

55
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 4>to give to more people. See, that's our visions called

56
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 4>out exactly. Come well, I'm easy to find in this.

57
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>In this sixtent is more broadly because you've helped folks

58
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 1>with you know, issues inside their homes. So like contractors, carpenters, electricians, plumbers,

59
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>lotty dotty, everybody, we need everybody.

60
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 3>This is we're not going to pull this.

61
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 4>Off b ourselves, me, me, Sam Jasper and our crew

62
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 4>or our board members aren' gonna be able to pull

63
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 4>this off. We need everybody involved, you know, and that's

64
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 4>our visions. Try to get the entire community together, and

65
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 4>that's part of my job, and that's one of the

66
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.439
<v Speaker 4>reasons I was doing an interview with Channel five yesterday

67
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 4>with Shari, and that's one of the reasons I'm here today.

68
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 4>And we're gonna keep going until we get to the

69
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 4>right person who wants to do something. You know, just real, quil,

70
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 4>what we're talking about the city. You know, there are

71
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.759
<v Speaker 4>fifty two neighborhoods in the city. Do you know how

72
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 4>many of those that the Help Squad covers?

73
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 3>None?

74
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 4>Do you think that there's anybody in these fifty two

75
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 4>neighborhoods that need the same type of help that we

76
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 4>give four places or four areas in Hamilton County?

77
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:32.840
<v Speaker 3>Of course there is. Yeah.

78
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 4>So you know what would be a great idea, What

79
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 4>about a meeting with the mayor? This is we give

80
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 4>hope and we give healing to a city that really

81
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.719
<v Speaker 4>needs some right now. Could you imagine if we had

82
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 4>to help Squad Ammondale, help Squad Evanston, to help Squad Madison,

83
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 4>help Squad Westwood. There are people struggling. Do you know

84
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 4>ever since we've had probably ten requestss the interview yesterday,

85
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 4>they're all in the city. Like, we can't help the

86
00:03:58.719 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 4>people in the city.

87
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:05.599
<v Speaker 1>You're limited in your ability because of limited funding, limited resources, manpower,

88
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 1>if you want to call it that, right, So that's

89
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>why you've chosen the West Side communities to focus on.

90
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 1>That's where you're from, and you know there is need there.

91
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 1>That's the other There's certainly need.

92
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 4>There's need everywhere, don't get me wrong, but I'm certain

93
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 4>there is need in these fifty two neighborshood neighborhoods, and

94
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 4>just real quick, just just for the numbers here. So

95
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 4>if you take a single mother and she has a

96
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 4>let's say her car breaks down, it's a five hundred

97
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.319
<v Speaker 4>dollars car repair. What most people don't understand, these aren't

98
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.360
<v Speaker 4>the people smoking weeds, sitting on their rear end and

99
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 4>playing Xbox all day. These are hard working Americans that

100
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 4>are trying to survive. They're making ends meet, their single

101
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 4>parents a lot or their families that are struggling. You know,

102
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 4>I grew up with a single mom. I saw at

103
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 4>firsthand how she struggled. Our lights were off at one time, Okay,

104
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 4>so these people, So let's say she has a five

105
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 4>hundred dollars car pant. She doesn't have the money to

106
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 4>fix that, her friends don't have money to fix it,

107
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.600
<v Speaker 4>she don't Usually the people in this position don't have credit.

108
00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.360
<v Speaker 4>They can't put it on a credit card, they don't

109
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 4>have credit. So what happens is the mother who has

110
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 4>this five hundred dollars car repair, can't get it fixed,

111
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 4>can't get to work, doesn't make money, and gets evicted.

112
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 4>And now she becomes homeless. And she's part of the statistic.

113
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 4>Once she gets on this on government assistance, it's going

114
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 4>to cost taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars. If you

115
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.839
<v Speaker 4>just would have gave me the five hundred dollars to

116
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 4>pay her car payment, we wouldn't be dealing with any

117
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 4>of this. It's a win win, win win for everybody.

118
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, you've just decided to describe what the

119
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 1>original intent of social welfare programs was all about, to

120
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:37.079
<v Speaker 1>provide a temporary bridge to get you, to get you

121
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 1>through the problems until you are capable of, you know,

122
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>going back into the workforce and contributing to society.

123
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 3>You're exactly right.

124
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>Nobody can use the help squad as a permanent crutch.

125
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.399
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely not. And that's a perfect point to bring up.

126
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.839
<v Speaker 4>So we helped seventy three families last year in twenty

127
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.639
<v Speaker 4>twenty four, roughly fifty of those families had requested assistance

128
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.279
<v Speaker 4>with rent to avoid eviction, which ultimately leads to homelessness.

129
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 4>My wife is a realer with hooting ridler. She tells me,

130
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 4>you do not want an eviction on your record because

131
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 4>nobody is going to ever again wants you to be

132
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 4>in their in their house, uh, you know, a rent

133
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 4>to you. So it's it's a it's a very big thing.

134
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 4>You don't want the the eviction uh to go forward,

135
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 4>you know. So we tried to prevent that. But out

136
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 4>of the fifty families that we helped and we paid

137
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.360
<v Speaker 4>and we avoided eviction for them and we avoided the homelessness, uh,

138
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 4>less than ten requested help again, meaning we filled that

139
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.879
<v Speaker 4>small financial gap to keep the fill that and to

140
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.439
<v Speaker 4>keep them moving forward with their regular lives, making ends

141
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 4>meet and continuing forward. That's forty families. Man, do you

142
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 4>know what that would have cost the tax pairs? So

143
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 4>if you give it seriously, if let's just say, I'm

144
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.839
<v Speaker 4>just throwing to figure out, you give us a million dollars,

145
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 4>we're gonna save you five million.

146
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 3>Does that make sense? Like it does.

147
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 4>I'm banging my head against car to wards like no

148
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 4>one wants to listen to me. I've talked to some

149
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.240
<v Speaker 4>of the county commit I've tried to get down to

150
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.399
<v Speaker 4>the city hall. I don't know what it takes, you know,

151
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:05.959
<v Speaker 4>to get someone to listen to us.

152
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think you you vet those who are asking

153
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.839
<v Speaker 1>for the resource. We certainly do you, unlike most government

154
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.759
<v Speaker 1>programs who aren't interested in being accountable to the taxpayer dollar.

155
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Because they get these budgets and they have the money already,

156
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 1>they don't have to be responsible, accountable for making sure

157
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 1>it goes to those truly in need and worthy of

158
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.079
<v Speaker 1>it to get to pass this little hurdle, rather than

159
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 1>just giving to someone who intends to stay on the program. Yeah,

160
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.279
<v Speaker 1>that's what makes your program efficient, that's what makes it

161
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.199
<v Speaker 1>very successful, and I applaud your efforts in that regard.

162
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>We'll bring Brian back because they've got a couple of

163
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 1>events that you can help out with and help the organization.

164
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.759
<v Speaker 1>Of course, if you're out there, you're in the trade.

165
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>You have your own automobile repair shop. You want to

166
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 1>help out Brian and the help squad over on the

167
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.959

168
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:56.319
<v Speaker 1>love having available and you'll help fulfill this wonderful mission

172
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.480

173
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:10.600

<v Speaker 1>get over those little speed bumps and likes so they

219

<v Speaker 1>Thanks to you for all the folks that you've helped

<v Speaker 1>out over the past five years the Help Squad. Since

223
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>you with thewy dot com or you can get details

224
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 1>on a couple of events that are coming up. Let's

225
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:32.039
<v Speaker 1>briefly dress first, the Help Squad Annual golf fundraiser taking

226
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 1>place at Pebble Creek Golf Course, and Events Center that's

227
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:37.159
<v Speaker 1>coming up on August sixteenth, fast approaching. Are there still

228
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>some slots available for that one?

229
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.799
<v Speaker 4>There are, there's a couple. There's some slots for golfers,

230
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.279
<v Speaker 4>and more importantly, there's some spots for some sponsorship opportunities.

231
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Sponsors.

232
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, check us out. You know, they got the website.

233
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 4>We certainly could use to help with that. And just

234
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.879
<v Speaker 4>just to reitererate. You know, one hundred percent of every

235
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 4>donation goes to wards helping people. I don't get paid,

236
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.320
<v Speaker 4>our board don't get paid. We're doing this for free,

237
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 4>very important part. Yeah, you know, and that's what really

238
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 4>really irks me. You know, like you think United Way,

239
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:09.159
<v Speaker 4>like all I'm going to have part of a paycheck

240
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.480
<v Speaker 4>go United Way. And they may do some wonderful things,

241
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.279
<v Speaker 4>but their overhead is massive.

242
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean salaries that they pay.

243
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:17.919
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it's like you're lucky if you get

244
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.559
<v Speaker 1>what seventy five cents on the dollar that you donate

245
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.200
<v Speaker 1>to go actually for charitable work with you, it's one

246
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.440
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent. You're not taking anything out of the till.

247
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.399
<v Speaker 4>No, now you give me what one of those guys make,

248
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.120
<v Speaker 4>I'll change the entire landscape of the West.

249
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:36.919
<v Speaker 3>Side is a good one.

250
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.799
<v Speaker 1>Pride, I hold, all right, But you got something else

251
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.639
<v Speaker 1>going on with my friend Tom Brenneman, who's currently speaking

252
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:44.600
<v Speaker 1>on over at seven hundred. I don't want to have

253
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:46.399
<v Speaker 1>to give him promotion because I don't want listeners to

254
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.519
<v Speaker 1>turn off the radios. But Tom is an outstanding guy,

255
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:51.879
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you, dude, and he's helping you out as well.

256
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:55.399
<v Speaker 4>He is so so on August twenty thirds, it's a Saturday,

257
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.840
<v Speaker 4>from nine am to eleven am, Tom is going to

258
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.879
<v Speaker 4>come out and speak at Bucketheads. That's my favorite place

259
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.120
<v Speaker 4>in the world to go. And he's coming to Bucketheads

260
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 4>and we're gonna have coach Michelle from the UC baseball team.

261
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:10.919
<v Speaker 4>He's going to kind of host it, and then Tom's

262
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.159
<v Speaker 4>going to speak, and well that's cool, yeah, And I'll

263
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:16.720
<v Speaker 4>mc it a little bit. Maybe I'll write up some

264
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 4>new material, some comedy stuff, maybe try to make some

265
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:19.360
<v Speaker 4>people laugh.

266
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 3>Probably won't happen, but.

267
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Typical Westsiders he's got a running video sort of like

268
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:30.159
<v Speaker 1>web series. There you go, the Typical Westsiders, which is very,

269
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.559
<v Speaker 1>very funny. Brian's behind that effort, and you do record

270
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:33.600
<v Speaker 1>that at Bucketheads too.

271
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, we do a lot bucket you know.

272
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.120
<v Speaker 4>So, like I said, we started about five years ago

273
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:40.399
<v Speaker 4>with the help squad, and Tom Scott of the owner

274
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.000
<v Speaker 4>of Bucketheads, has just been man.

275
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 3>He has been our number one supporter.

276
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.519
<v Speaker 4>It was our first fundraiser there, I think we made,

277
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, five hundred bucks and we were going to

278
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 4>save the world with five hundred dollars, and you know,

279
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 4>and just to see the advancement of the progress we've

280
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:55.559
<v Speaker 4>made in the last four and five years. You know,

281
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:57.600
<v Speaker 4>it started out, hey, let's help a few people here

282
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:00.840
<v Speaker 4>and there, and this is a corporation. This has become

283
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:04.039
<v Speaker 4>a forty hour work week, not for just myself, but

284
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 4>even for Sam. You know, Sam's been on here many times.

285
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm fortunate I'm retired, yeah, you know, and I can

286
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.960
<v Speaker 4>put my thirty five forty hours in a week of

287
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.080
<v Speaker 4>doing this. Sam works for the full time job. Sam's

288
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.559
<v Speaker 4>doing like seventy hours a week, and so is Carrie.

289
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.879
<v Speaker 4>We have a carry went on our team. She works

290
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.600
<v Speaker 4>full time and she's doing this like eighty hours a week.

291
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:25.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, you know, So everybody's put in a

292
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.159
<v Speaker 4>lot of effort for others. You know that we're not

293
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:30.519
<v Speaker 4>getting anything out of this. Accept the reward and being

294
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.080
<v Speaker 4>the hands of feet of Jesus Christ. Well, and you know,

295
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.080
<v Speaker 4>isn't that important Because I've always said about my charity,

296
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.399
<v Speaker 4>it's okay for you to feel good personally for helping

297
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:42.559
<v Speaker 4>someone out. That's kind of the reward that you get

298
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.440
<v Speaker 4>from being charitable. You're fulfilling God's mission. If this, if

299
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.600
<v Speaker 4>you're a person of Christian faith or maybe other faiths,

300
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.879
<v Speaker 4>feel the same way. Helping out folks that are on

301
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.080
<v Speaker 4>life's margins get over their struggles, maybe encourage them to

302
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:59.799
<v Speaker 4>pursue the faith themselves. Considering where your charitable motivation came from,

303
00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:03.200
<v Speaker 4>it's like prostlytizing. It's a foot in the door toward

304
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.120
<v Speaker 4>perhaps them getting some enlightenment.

305
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:06.759
<v Speaker 1>And I know that's part of your goal, Brian, and

306
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a laudable goal.

307
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:10.080
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate that. You know, I have.

308
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 4>I have a few tattoos, and uh, if you know,

309
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.879
<v Speaker 4>people see with the tattoos, they immediately long hair and tattoos,

310
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.639
<v Speaker 4>they're become intimidated. But if if someone just take the few,

311
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.200
<v Speaker 4>well I do look a little odd. But if you

312
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:21.919
<v Speaker 4>took the time and just looked some of the tattoos,

313
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.399
<v Speaker 4>they're all Christian, you know, I know Christian tattoos. And

314
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.879
<v Speaker 4>it says here, and this is the one I always

315
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:29.120
<v Speaker 4>refer to the most, especially with the Help Squad stuff.

316
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.200
<v Speaker 4>It says, I am my brother's keeper. I didn't put

317
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.799
<v Speaker 4>that on my skin just as a joke. We are

318
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.240
<v Speaker 4>our brother's keeper. You how do I sleep at night

319
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.200
<v Speaker 4>sound knowing that they're a family h enchiviot with a

320
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.440
<v Speaker 4>single mom and three kids are sleeping on the floor.

321
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:45.759
<v Speaker 4>How do you do that? You know, I don't think

322
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:47.360
<v Speaker 4>you're human if you can do that. And that's the

323
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:51.159
<v Speaker 4>stuff we're doing every day, all day of the week.

324
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.360
<v Speaker 4>You know, that's what the Help Squad is. And it's

325
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:57.879
<v Speaker 4>just such a rewarding feeling and we're not going away.

326
00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.440
<v Speaker 4>Someone's going to have to We're gonna have to get

327
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:02.480
<v Speaker 4>some sort of spot sponsorship from, you know, some big companies,

328
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:04.440
<v Speaker 4>because let me tell you something, the days of playing

329
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.440
<v Speaker 4>split the pot and raffle baskets, that's about over for us.

330
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.799
<v Speaker 4>Like it's time to either or get off the pot.

331
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:14.799
<v Speaker 4>I mean, something has to really, we're gonna need some

332
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.440
<v Speaker 4>big sponsors here coming up, or we're gonna have to

333
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 4>figure out some other things.

334
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Well.

335
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:21.559
<v Speaker 1>On that happy note, I'll remind folks the Help Squad

00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.279
<v Speaker 1>since you with the y dot com, there are all

337
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>kinds of opportunities for you to help out. If you're

338
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:28.879
<v Speaker 1>in the trades, help out by dedicating some time for

00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.919
<v Speaker 1>some folks, you know, fix up projects that they deal with.

340

<v Speaker 1>have an opportunity financially to donate, of course you can

342
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:39.039

<v Speaker 1>you have some just free time to help out in

344
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:44.480
<v Speaker 1>some way. I'm sure they'll accept your help. So volunteer work,

345

<v Speaker 1>cash contributions, sponsorships, whether it's maybe for the annual golf

346
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.720
<v Speaker 1>fundraiser or just being a sponsor of the Help Squad.

347
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.639
<v Speaker 1>Generally speaking, corporate sponsors are all welcome. And thanks to

348
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:55.679

354
