When it first happens, they're overwhelmed and they just don't know what to do.

Then because of the different laws, AOT, etc.,

They don't have the money.

The institutions don't get paid.

So they actually throw them back out on the street.

It's a big cycle of the unknown.

And it keeps circling around.

And it seems like they just don't know how to help these people.

And then the cycle just continues.

Yes, I've heard that many times.

And what most people don't realize is that once their child is put into the system, it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to turn out the way they thought it would.

What's your opinion on how we get these organizations to step up?

The more people I speak with, it seems like the bigger the organization, the less help that they get from them.

Yeah, we have to do baby steps.

Help the first person, then help the next one.

By the time we get to the last one, we've helped them all.

Yes.

I've talked with so many people that have tried to do so many different things.

They've talked with their organizations and they're quite frankly frustrated because nothing is getting done.

So what's your opinion legislative wise that we can take and do something to get all these people together and ultimately the people that need the help actually get it?
