"These People are important to me and I know what it's like to work hard and not be treated fairly. The decisions we make can impact them. They can send their kids to school, they can buy a house, they can go on vacation, those are the things that make life bearable, and rich. This allows them to give to others, and that's a great honor." -Deb Carey
