We do get a lot of kids that might look for a job and might
not qualify for the job because they just don't have the basic
essentials to do the job. Make sure you bring your boots. Make
sure you bring on work pants, you need gloves, you need
safety glasses, he's looking at me. He told me like, bro, I
own one sweater. That's the only sweater I wear all
winter. I don't got money for boots so forget it.
Truthfully, if I hadn't gotten the boots and the rest of the
work gear that was a necessity, I feel like I wouldn't have
wanted to do it anymore. Like I would have just gotten
overwhelmed with everything else and just gave up. It's
having boots that can make the difference and whether or not
he leads a life in construction. His life can
totally be changed and it starts with $200 boots. Money
don't come easy in nonprofits, man. The budget is like the
budget. Like there's no, there's no way around it
sometimes. And that's where NeighborShare steps in right in
in the nick of time.
They came in clutch with the money for my work stuff because
I didn't know where I was gonna get it from. I didn't know how
I was gonna get it. I had never heard of NeighborShare. I just
thought about it and I was like, wow, that's amazing. They
don't have to but they're taking it upon themselves to
help an individual that actually needs it. I almost thought that it was too good to
be true. Because there's not a lot of bureaucracy or red tape.
It's just in time dollars that can make all the difference.
Sometimes when you give back, you don't know what you're giving
back to. With NeighborShare you know exactly what you're giving back to.
You know you're not getting played for your money
but this is going to somebody that needs it. You know that it's not
going to waste, it's going to opportunity, going to
greatness. No price on that. So like an organization like
NeighborShare that allows us to give these kids that
opportunity it's a beautiful thing. Not everyone in this world likes to give.
You help one person, you help everyone and I feel like that's exactly what
NeighborShare is about.
