“It means that I get the chance to be hands on with my community and help those less fortunate. To try to save lives out here in the cold weather and cool them down in the summer. I actually get to help people and check on them in the future. I get to pass the opportunities that I was given on to other people. Also to have a job that I really care about, that I am really happy to get up every day to come here to do.”
