-: On a personal side, it's,
I mean I just know that this is the calling
that has been set for me, and that I've,
my faith really drives me to know
that there's a greater purpose.
And the days that feel, maybe really frustrating
or really stressful, I just know that there's a purpose
beyond that moment.
But then also to be able
to see life change happening every day,
even if it's, the small, what seems small,
but is really a victory for a survivor,
getting to see them transform and grow and heal.
For me, there's just nothing like that experience.
Especially for us right now, like I said,
I'm the only staff member,
so just the weight of that, I think,
is sometimes a challenge, just knowing how
to balance my time and what has
to be put on the back burner,
so that other things can get finished.
So funding is always,
you'll hear non-profits, all the time,
of course, talk about that,
but we're really struggling in terms of,
figuring out how to work through some of that.
So it almost seems like
more the bigger systematic things
that are stressful and challenging,
'cause the client stuff,
you're working with people,
so there's always gonna be challenges in that way,
but I find that systems, in terms of barriers
and things that make it challenging
for somebody to move forward,
that's probably the most challenging part.
