Plentyful.

I mean we get letters.

I mean some of the stuff is just deeply, deeply moving.

I mean like

It was his cat in uh

And Rikers named Raphael.

Who was a carpenter?

who saw the Freedom Library and went to help just because

What he saw was so beautiful as he was from a family conference from the Dominican Republic.

He asked how could he help?

And he said that, you know, he a a military veteran.

And so in his letter, you got a child of immigrants that is a citizen, that is a military veteran and a carpenter talking about how we changed the shape of his day because of the beauty that we brought to Rikers.

We did a a program in a Missouri prison and we get a letter back and it's a thousand dollars in a letter.

And the guy says, Man, I'm doing life in prison and I have never felt this free.

And so I want you to have all the money I have to my name.

We got a letter from a woman in in California when we first opened up the Freedom Library.

And she says, Look, I come here.

And I see this this this this beautiful wood and I'm wondering what's going on.

And I walk down the steps and it's books and they brand new and they smell new.

And she says I'm enjoying the books and then I see a woman that I had conflict with for weeks.
