What is how it has impacted your work and community? The need, what are we seeing and how are you pushing through?
21:51
Yeah, the current state of nonprofit is crunchy right now and it's uncomfortable and it's wild if I'm if I'm being honest.

And I had mentioned this, you know, not too long ago that at a nonprofit, nonprofits is hard work.

22:17
We do this work because it's a service to our community.
