I can relate to that.

I'm like, stop emailing me stupid stuff.

But then something else happens and you're like, oh, I've been doing all of this shit.

And then something good happens or something big happens.

But it keeps you going, right?

Like you still have your own goals.

You still have things you want to do within the work.

But every day is not going to be an amazing day.

Well, I will say I am not in the business of saving people.

I don't believe that people need to be saved, but I believe that people need tools and opportunities to do what they want to do or need to do.

So the young people who come to Yeah Philly for service, they've been arrested at least four times.

Already.

A lot of them have been selling drugs since they were 10 with their families there.

They've got guns in the house.

They've got 10, eight brothers and sisters.

They've got a dad who's incarcerated.

So they have things that at a very young age, they should not be dealing with.

So then they come to us and they don't have anything.

We help them get their state IDs and driver's licenses, birth certificates.

We go to their court dates and help them advocate for not going to jail or prison because you're a kid.
