I mean, one of the things that I learned, you know, over more than 20 years of working with homeless people is they're just people like people like the rest of us, you know, like they're everybody's, you know, they're just going through some terrible times and they've kind of been dropped out of the bottom of systems that are broken and are not working.

And, you know, they've been kind of left there.

But they're just people like the rest of us, and it's not up to us to be, like, judging them.

You know, we should be just offering compassion and helping them out.

Oh, thank you, Tonya.

It's been such a pleasure to be here.
