-: It's so fulfilling, that's the first thing.
Like I said, it's a passion-driven industry.
If you don't have your heart in it,
then it's going to be easy to waver.
I like to see people smile in the midst
of their storm kind of thing because
we meet people who don't often have meals
at the house, don't have a house.
We deal with a lot of the homeless community,
people who don't have a good pair of shoes,
we're a shoe distributor, so it kinda
crushes me to see that so it keeps me
motivated and just to be able to help those people.
I do my best to do that.
The hardest part is having to tell people no.
It's having to tell people no because
when you're out there giving away
free clothes, there's gonna be somebody
who needs two or three shirts but
because I gotta make sure that everybody's
taken care of, I can't give you your
two extra shirts, my man, I'm sorry
you have to hop back in the back of the line
even though I can see that you are in need.
That's kinda hard but it's kinda,
having to sacrifice one so that the many can be fed.
On a more practical level, because like I said,
I don't work with the people hands-on often,
but when different organizations
propose events that I can see that'll be
good for the communities, having to say no
because then again, working for
a corporation, dollars have to stretch.
When dollars are starting to get short,
we have to say no and that's never fun.
