00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I totally agree with you about the states rights issue

<v Speaker 1>for regarding abortion fifty five krs the Talk station ATO

<v Speaker 1>six at fifty five kr C, the Talks Day and

4
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:16.039
<v Speaker 1>b Thomas having one hell of a great time. I

5
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:18.800
<v Speaker 1>just love Peter Bronson and talking with with Peter Bronson

6
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:20.960
<v Speaker 1>so much, and we're going to make that happen again.

7
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>He and I both big fans of literature generally, which

8
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>obviously isn't shock and considering as an author, but just

9
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:31.079
<v Speaker 1>such a brilliant, intelligent, easy to talk with guy. He's

10
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 1>got a knowledge base a mile wide. So we'll get

11
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 1>Peter back on the show soon. And thank you to

12
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the several listeners who sent me an email talking about

13
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 1>how much they enjoyed that discussion, because I don't think

14
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>anybody enjoyed it more than I did. And another man

15
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>who I have profound respect for, uh Brian Ibel. Brian

16
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.119
<v Speaker 1>is in studio and I've hit Brian in the studio

17
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>multiple times, and I was glad to see him on

18
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 1>the rundown. It is that time of year and I

19
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of wish we all sort of felt all year

20
00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>long that it was the charitable time of year. But

21
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, season kicks in Thanksgiving and Christmas and Hanukah

22
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>and we're all in a celebratory mood, we tend to

23
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 1>start thinking about those on life's margins who don't have

24
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>it so great. You know. Bob Wetter was on yesterday

25
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>from the Wish Tree. The wish trees are up all

26
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 1>over town. There's going to be a wish tree at

27
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 1>Pricel Chile on the first Wednesday of November, where we're

28
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>having the final listener lunch of the year for our

29
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Lunch, if you want to call it that. But

30
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>if anywhere you can find the opportunity to help someone out,

31
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>if you have it within your financial means or even

32
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>within your time commitment means, see if you can try

33
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 1>to do something for someone else. And nobody knows about

34
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>that more than Brian Iibold. And after what twenty five

35
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 1>years almost in the Cincinnti Police Department and time to

36
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.439
<v Speaker 1>retire and trying to figure out which direction he was

37
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 1>going to take his life, well he went in the

38
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 1>charitable contribution direction. I've had him on before to talk

39
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 1>about his charitable organization, the Help Squad. You can find

40
00:01:55.239 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>him online at the Help Squad Sinceywthwy dot com and

41
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:02.319
<v Speaker 1>he was just talking off air. He said, you know,

42
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 1>I could have gotten in an RV and drove all

43
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.239
<v Speaker 1>over then, you know, spent my time in a tiki

44
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>bar drinking the hours away. But there is nothing at

45
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>all like what I am doing with helping folks out. Brian,

46
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>good to have you back here in studio. Yeah, thanks

47
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 1>for having me. Really appreciate it. Well, you get to

48
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 1>see the reality of what you're doing for folks. So

49
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 1>let's start with what you are doing for folks, you

50
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and the volunteers and those who contribute which I will

51
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>strongly encourage my listeners to do to your charitable organization.

52
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>You have an interesting perspective on folks in need, so

53
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.639
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about the day to day operations of the

54
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Help Squad and the type of people that you provide

55
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 1>assistance to throughout the year.

56
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, so, the Help Squad is a Christian based

57
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 2>five oh one c three nonprofit organization. So just by

58
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 2>saying Christian based, that should get your support right off

59
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>the bat.

60
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 3>But wait, there's more.

61
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 2>The Help Squad also assist financially struggling families, with a

62
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 2>focus on single moms and dads on the West side

63
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>of town.

64
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And it's nice that somebody is serve on the west

65
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 1>side of town, you know. And I just kind of

66
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 1>felt we got overlooked. I say, week because I grew

67
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>up in Dell High.

68
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, no, I'm from Price sal I did the

69
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>migration Price Hill to del High, del High to Bridgetown

70
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 2>and Bridge down. I guess to Harrison, then Harrison to Bright, Indiana.

71
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 2>That's usually how the migration goes for West side ers.

72
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 2>But you yeah, me, stop off now, I passed that up.

73
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 2>But uh, you know that's where my heart is on

74
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>the on the west side. And but I'll tell you

75
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>right now, we have a vision of having the Help

76
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Squad Norwood the Help Squad, Anderson Township the Help Squad

77
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Blue Ash. That's the vision because there's more than people

78
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 2>on the west side that need help, you know what

79
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean. And it kills us because on our website

80
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 2>you can request assistance and a lot of the requests

81
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 2>that we receive are not in our service areas, you know,

82
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>And it's unfortunate.

83
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.000
<v Speaker 3>However, if some people.

84
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Would get off the couch and start start the help

85
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 2>Squad in different areas of town, we can we can

86
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 2>win this, you know, I go right to tell we

87
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>can do this.

88
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:06.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh absolutely.

89
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 1>I had Keith Deserts from the Care Starts Now on

90
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the week. They lost their daughter to pediatric

91
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>brain cancer eighteen years ago or nineteen years ago. They

92
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 1>started the Care Starts Now to find a cure for

93
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>pediatric brain cancer fast forward.

94
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:24.600
<v Speaker 3>It is a global, a global charity. Yeah, it's amazing.

95
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 3>It is.

96
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>It is absolutely truly amazing, And I'm always inspired by

97
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 1>people like you and Keith and his wife Brooke and

98
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>others who just it takes someone with the initiative, with

99
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>the idea and the initiative to at least start it,

100
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.959
<v Speaker 1>because it sounds tripe to say if you build it,

101
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>they will come. You know, I'm not a self starter

102
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of guy. You know, I'd never been a I'm

103
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 1>not an entrepreneurial type. I've always been a W two employee.

104
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 1>I like to point that out all the time. But

105
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, if there's someone over there doing this great work,

106
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm more than happy to help out contribute. Some people

107
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.160
<v Speaker 1>have time to help, and some people have money to help.

108
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.279
<v Speaker 1>But there's always that one person who establishes the organization

109
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>and then next thing you know, you're surrounded by all

110
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>this support to help you get the work done that

111
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to accomplish.

112
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 3>It's great, Oh yeah, definitely.

113
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 2>So so I started the organization. However, we incorporated an

114
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 2>amazing a woman, our vice president, Sam Sam Jasper. She

115
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 2>actually Brian was diagnosed with cancer a couple six months

116
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:31.120
<v Speaker 2>about six months ago.

117
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 3>She went through.

118
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 2>Chemo radiation surgery, and she still helped others going through

119
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 2>all that. So you know the listeners that, oh, I

120
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 2>can't do anything, there's really no excuse. This lady worked

121
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.879
<v Speaker 2>through something that none of us, most of us won't

122
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.879
<v Speaker 2>go through, and she was still able to come through

123
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 2>and help people.

124
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>So well, you know, maybe her work inspired her to

125
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>work and that helped her to get through the cancer

126
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>and the other problems associated with it.

127
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, very well, this lady's a unicor or you won't

128
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 2>find too many people like Sam, you.

129
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Know, starting to help squad. You never running into people

130
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 1>like that. So it's okay. Give my listeners a couple

131
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 1>of examples of how the organization works and spreading the

132
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>word on it, and see if we can get some

133
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>contributions to go in. Give me a give me one

134
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>of your heartwarming stories of success and how the charity

135
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>actually goes about fulfilling its mission.

136
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let me thank you here.

137
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:29.519
<v Speaker 2>So our most recent lady we helped, single mother, was

138
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:33.360
<v Speaker 2>in an abusive relationship, had to flee from up north.

139
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.040
<v Speaker 2>I won't mention where she came to Cincinnati. I won't

140
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 2>mention where to as a refuge from this, you know,

141
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:43.759
<v Speaker 2>this lunatic husband of hers.

142
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Getting out is the most challenging thing.

143
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.800
<v Speaker 2>For exactly and Cincinnati was the only place that she

144
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:55.240
<v Speaker 2>could find housing. And so she basically fled here with

145
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.959
<v Speaker 2>and showed up here with literally nothing, basically the clothes

146
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.639
<v Speaker 2>on her back, no food, just a few diapers, basically

147
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.959
<v Speaker 2>no furniture at all. There's really nothing this lady had

148
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>her had jam bag escape. Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Yeah.

149
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:14.519
<v Speaker 2>So the help squad, she contacted us, and luckily, because

150
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 2>of our donations and having the funds in the bank,

151
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 2>we were able to provide her with food, diapers, furniture,

152
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.879
<v Speaker 2>a washer, a dryer. She's actually going to school online

153
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.319
<v Speaker 2>to be a nurse. She's almost has a four year

154
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 2>degree and unfortunately, through the move her computer broke it

155
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.519
<v Speaker 2>was damage. We were able to get her a computer

156
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 2>to finish her degree. And so this is what I'm

157
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to say, The Help Squad is a very unique organization.

158
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 2>You just can't call somewhere and get this type of assistance.

159
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 2>So that's why I'm always looking for the support, you know,

160
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 2>to help us. I mean, donations are down, volunteers are down.

161
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 4>You know.

162
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 3>I've been on the radio several times. I've been on TV.

163
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I've been on cable news network, magazines, meetings, speak engagements.

164
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:05.079
<v Speaker 2>I've talked to politicians, county commissioners, business owners, very influential people.

165
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.399
<v Speaker 2>I have friends, they're multi millionaires and give nothing. So

166
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what else it's going to take to

167
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.519
<v Speaker 2>get our message across. You know, do I have to

168
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.279
<v Speaker 2>like myself on fire Fountain Square? You know, I mean

169
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I have matches.

170
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:19.199
<v Speaker 3>I will do.

171
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.279
<v Speaker 2>We will do whatever it takes to get this word

172
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.759
<v Speaker 2>out because it only takes one. It takes one person

173
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.560
<v Speaker 2>to hear this. And we have reached tens of thousands

174
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.759
<v Speaker 2>of people and have gathered just you know, a handful

175
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:34.720
<v Speaker 2>of support. Now that handful of support, they're amazing, amazing businesses, people,

176
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>you name it. But there's a ton of other people

177
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.799
<v Speaker 2>that could help and just choose not to.

178
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Getting the word out.

179
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, listen, No one can doubt there are a

180
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.200
<v Speaker 1>multitude of charities out there, but you really are unique

181
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>in what you are doing. This isn't like getting on

182
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.919
<v Speaker 1>a snap program. This isn't like you know, getting on

183
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:56.279
<v Speaker 1>a government aid program. This is really very very tailor

184
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 1>focused needs that you are addressing with. You know, quite

185
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>often it's a cash contribution. There is a situation where

186
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.039
<v Speaker 1>someone can't pay the rent one month. Help Squad comes

187
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to the rescue, gets them over that hurdle and helps

188
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>them deal with those challenges. We'll pause, will bring Brian

00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.759
<v Speaker 1>Brian charity and of course it's a charity for all

215
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 1>folks that are struggling on the West Side. Helping folks

216
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.799
<v Speaker 1>out that are truly in dire situations. Just really heart

217
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:37.279
<v Speaker 1>heartwarming but moving story. You just told about the woman

218
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>who had to just run literally run away from her

219
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.919
<v Speaker 1>abusive situation. And you know, I've I've heard about that

220
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.639
<v Speaker 1>so many times over the years, and it's easy for

221
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 1>me to say just walk away. I read stories about

222
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 1>abusive relationships and you wonder, how in the hell is

223
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>it that you know two people could end up you know,

224
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.360
<v Speaker 1>making the stack is stupid in the morning because they

225
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.840
<v Speaker 1>can't get along. Why don't you just walk away? Well,

226
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.840
<v Speaker 1>that's easy to say. The challenge is actually following through

227
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>with it because you're fearing for your life. But once

228
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.519
<v Speaker 1>they pull the trigger and get out of dodge, usually

229
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.840
<v Speaker 1>with very little, that's where a group like the Help

230
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Squad comes in and they need your help. You can

231
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>donate financially, but you're also looking for some help with volunteers.

232
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>To Brian, you might understand that correctly.

233
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, certainly, we will take we're looking for volunteers, we're

234
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:28.879
<v Speaker 2>looking for donations. We're looking for item donations that we

235
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:32.159
<v Speaker 2>can auction off. But I'll tell you what, Brian, there's

236
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:35.039
<v Speaker 2>people that can't afford to help. I understand that there's

237
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 2>people that don't have the ability to get out to help.

238
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.600
<v Speaker 2>But here's the thing. Everybody can pray for us. And

239
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.919
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you, if you had the chance

240
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:49.279
<v Speaker 2>to give a donation or a prayer, I'll take the prayer.

241
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:54.080
<v Speaker 2>God's in control, not me, not the donors, but God.

242
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.639
<v Speaker 2>And if God wants to make this huge, it'll be huge.

243
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.159
<v Speaker 2>And if not, we'll just keep going until He directs

244
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 2>somewhere else.

245
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.519
<v Speaker 1>It's just that simple. Your faith is inspirational just in

246
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.320
<v Speaker 1>and of itself. Hearing you say that it truly is

247
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:10.039
<v Speaker 1>reflective of your commitment and that where it comes from,

248
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, fulfilling the Christian mission. So I think people

249
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.679
<v Speaker 1>quite often overlook that that it's our individual responsibility. I

250
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:21.720
<v Speaker 1>believe doctrinally and dogmatically speaking. This is why I get

251
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>angry with with church leaders who want to offload the

252
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:30.840
<v Speaker 1>responsibility of helping your fellow human beings in this society

253
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>by offloading that to government services or programs. I mean,

254
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.759
<v Speaker 1>charity begins at home and it's their obligation individually to

255
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.120
<v Speaker 1>help out. And this is a way you can fulfill

256
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>that mission. Just hand over some cash or some time

257
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>or some effort or prayer for the help squad. Help

258
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:49.039
<v Speaker 1>squadsincy dot com. You have a toy drive coming up,

259
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:50.279

<v Speaker 2>fun there.

271
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, that'd be a really nice thing to meet Ted

272
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:29.399
<v Speaker 1>and help the charity out at the same time. And congratulations,

273
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I see on your website again help Squad SYNTHI with

274
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 1>the White dot Com Corey and Chamber of Commas Commerce

275
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.639
<v Speaker 1>awarded you the New Business Rising Star of the Year

276
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:40.279
<v Speaker 1>for this year they did.

277
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.799
<v Speaker 3>That was a very nice award. We were glad to

278
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:43.159
<v Speaker 3>get it.

279
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.480
<v Speaker 2>A lot of hard work and effort was put in

280
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.879
<v Speaker 2>by myself, are saying the vice president and everybody on

281
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:54.480
<v Speaker 2>our board. These ladies work continuously and you know, I

282
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.039
<v Speaker 2>just want to add real quick that you know, and

283
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of your listeners can relate to this.

284
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:00.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, I grew up with single mom and this.

285
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>My mom struggled for the longest time. We had our

286
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.960
<v Speaker 2>electric turn off at one point, I remember eating cold

287
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.919
<v Speaker 2>TV dinners, you know. And this has to resonate with

288
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:09.679
<v Speaker 2>some of your listeners.

289
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:10.360
<v Speaker 3>It just has to.

290
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.600
<v Speaker 2>But could you imagine, Brian, if my mom could have

291
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.679
<v Speaker 2>picked up a phone and called an organization like us

292
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.720
<v Speaker 2>to help her through these rough patches. Could you imagine that?

293
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't it have been awesome? But you know what, she

294
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.240
<v Speaker 2>couldn't because there was no organization like ours. And that

295
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.919
<v Speaker 2>was fifty years ago, that was in the seventies, and

296
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.279
<v Speaker 2>there still wasn't. Well fifty years later, guess what there

297
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 2>is one. It's called the Help Squad, and we're going

298
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.679
<v Speaker 2>to do everything that we can. This can be done.

299
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.080
<v Speaker 2>You just need the support of everybody. Me and myself,

300
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Sam and our five people on the board aren't gonna

301
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:45.879
<v Speaker 2>be able to do it. We need everybody's help.

302
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And the idea is not a perpetual, ongoing handout.

303
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.600
<v Speaker 1>You're helping people get through the bumpier times. Like the

304
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.320
<v Speaker 1>woman that you got the computer for. She's going to

305
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>be a nurse at some point here soon and she

306
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:03.679
<v Speaker 1>will make a very nice living and she will always

307
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:05.759
<v Speaker 1>be in a position of being employed. My wife was

308
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>a nurse. You never had to worry about where your

309
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>paycheck was coming if you were a nurse, because there's

310
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.799
<v Speaker 1>always a demand for nursing. She's going to be free

311
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and on her own. But without your support, she never

312
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>probably would have been able to accomplish completing the degree.

313
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:23.159
<v Speaker 1>So it's just again getting people over bumps in the road.

314
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:27.799
<v Speaker 1>Financial assistance is offered. You have housing support, you connect

315
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:31.759
<v Speaker 1>folks with shelter networks and shelter diversion programs, housing grants,

316
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>food support. We know where all the local food aid

317
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.000
<v Speaker 1>can be helped I've found and the pantries are. You're

318
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:41.600
<v Speaker 1>sort of a one stop you know, informational department as well.

319
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, definitely.

320
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:47.279
<v Speaker 2>And I know there's a lot of government agencies out

321
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:50.399
<v Speaker 2>there and whatnot, but try to navigate through them. See

322
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.000
<v Speaker 2>if they call you back, See if they responded your email,

323
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:54.919
<v Speaker 2>See if they put you on hold for five hours.

324
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, the government does come in, but they come

325
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.679
<v Speaker 2>in when you're at rock bottom. The help squad french

326
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:02.879
<v Speaker 2>you from getting there. That's a big difference.

327
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're right, that's an excellent way of putting it.

328
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.039
<v Speaker 1>A really excellent way of putting it.

329
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we assist though basically the working poor who somehow

330
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:16.600
<v Speaker 2>have a financial issue or financial crisis through sickness, maybe injury,

331
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.840
<v Speaker 2>they got laid off, whatever it takes, or whatever happens.

332
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:24.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, we will fix the gap in between so

333
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 2>they can continue making their ends meet.

334
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Now you mentioned items that you will accept by way

335
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:35.840
<v Speaker 1>of donation. Is I don't want to draw a parallel here,

336
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:39.120
<v Speaker 1>that's inappropriate, but I immediately, like sink Vincento Paul pops

337
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>into my mind. But if someone has working operable, like

338
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're phasing out the h the old dryer

339
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.759
<v Speaker 1>in favor of a new one, if they have something

340
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:50.960
<v Speaker 1>like that that you'll you'll you'll take it.

341
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:52.559
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, certainly, certainly.

342
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.759
<v Speaker 2>And I just want to add that Saint Vincents Paul

343
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.480
<v Speaker 2>is an amazing organization as well, and we partner with them.

344
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.480
<v Speaker 2>So let's say somebody needs one thousand dollars for a

345
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.519
<v Speaker 2>back rent a lot of times same that Paul will

346
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.839
<v Speaker 2>pay half and then we'll pay the other half. So yeah,

347
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.000
<v Speaker 2>they're a media. Yeah, and here's the thing. But I'm

348
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.319
<v Speaker 2>not here, you know, to complain, And I will tell

349
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:13.480
<v Speaker 2>you this. I am frustrated. It's been a long year.

350
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Everything is down. You know, I don't know what it

351
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:19.799
<v Speaker 2>takes to get people to write this is it. We're

352
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.079
<v Speaker 2>doing it. I see it every day. I'm not crazy.

353
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.559
<v Speaker 2>And to get people motivated to get off the couch

354
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.480
<v Speaker 2>and let's go make a difference in this world. You're

355
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna live here once, right. You can't take the money

356
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:31.559
<v Speaker 2>with you, you just can't.

357
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:33.799
<v Speaker 3>Ye So and it is.

358
00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.799
<v Speaker 1>I always see charity because I just almost feel guilty

359
00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:43.000
<v Speaker 1>that you feel good about helping someone in need out

360
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.480
<v Speaker 1>because that person is in need and it makes you

361
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.200
<v Speaker 1>feel terrible. But that's what that's what generates the charitable contribution,

362
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:51.839
<v Speaker 1>and you get to see the smile on the face

363
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.559
<v Speaker 1>and the work that's actually done with that charitable contribution.

364
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:58.119
<v Speaker 1>It gives you, It uplifts your spirit. You're fulfilling your

365
00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:01.599
<v Speaker 1>Christian mission and it makes you feel good. So as

366
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:06.640
<v Speaker 1>by giving, go ahead, embrace the feeling you get from

367
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.680
<v Speaker 1>that and enjoy that charitable spirit you get. That's part

368
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:14.480
<v Speaker 1>of the gift of giving. The help Squad Sinsey WITHTHWY
