00:00.811 --> 00:03.296
- It's very difficult to put into words how moving,

00:03.296 --> 00:06.129
and how honored we are to be here.

00:06.502 --> 00:09.095
And to help the families, to help the members,

00:09.095 --> 00:11.012
to help their families.

00:11.472 --> 00:14.555
Words cannot even describe the honor.

00:15.045 --> 00:16.085
I'm screwing this all up.

00:16.085 --> 00:16.918
You're gonna have to redo it.

00:16.918 --> 00:17.917
- [Interviewer] No worries, no worries!

00:17.917 --> 00:19.953
- Because it's just so moving, it's an absolute

00:19.953 --> 00:22.257
blessing and I guess we choked up

00:22.257 --> 00:24.840
every single time that we help.

00:26.896 --> 00:28.431
- [Interviewer] All right, let's do it one more time.

00:28.431 --> 00:29.521
- 'Cause I'm getting all choked up again.

00:29.521 --> 00:30.379
- Yeah me too.

00:30.379 --> 00:32.562
[Interviewer] No, that's good though!

00:32.562 --> 00:34.761
I mean not good but, like you know ...

00:34.761 --> 00:35.928
Oh, I'm sorry.

00:36.335 --> 00:37.767
So tell me what it means to you.

00:37.767 --> 00:41.684
So you obviously love Stephanie, and adore her.

00:42.077 --> 00:44.106
So tell me what it means to you to be able

00:44.106 --> 00:47.606
to help out family of hers that need help.

00:49.590 --> 00:51.501
- We are absolutely beyond honored

00:51.501 --> 00:54.418
to be here, to assist, and to help.

00:56.204 --> 00:58.048
We're so blessed beyond belief that we are

00:58.048 --> 00:59.881
capable of doing this.

01:01.123 --> 01:02.685
Words cannot describe the feeling.

01:02.685 --> 01:05.395
This is a life-changing event for all of us.

01:05.395 --> 01:06.645
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

01:10.223 --> 01:11.056
- (laughs) Now I'm gonna cry.

01:11.056 --> 01:13.473
- Yeah I know, I'm gonna cry.

01:13.609 --> 01:14.442
Me too.

01:14.908 --> 01:15.908
- All right.

01:16.960 --> 01:18.973
What is happening here today is all the goods

01:18.973 --> 01:21.556
that we received from Michigan,

01:22.251 --> 01:25.334
from the firefighters and the police,

01:27.473 --> 01:28.806
from the police,

01:28.956 --> 01:31.478
is now we brought it to Salinas for the

01:31.478 --> 01:34.228
residents and the families of the

01:35.651 --> 01:38.180
firemen and the police officers here.

01:38.180 --> 01:42.347
All the donations and stuff are in that pickup truck.

01:42.673 --> 01:44.590
The back of that truck.

01:45.004 --> 01:47.241
We're gonna get this pallet off of here,

01:47.241 --> 01:49.153
the smooth pallet on the back,

01:49.153 --> 01:52.044
and then bring it into the City Central,

01:52.044 --> 01:54.548
and they're gonna run it like we do the EFAC.

01:54.548 --> 01:55.546
Families are gonna come in,

01:55.546 --> 01:57.628
and they're gonna assess their needs.

01:57.628 --> 01:59.483
Because on top of the food bags we're giving them,

01:59.483 --> 02:03.150
there's blankets, and pillows, and clothing,

02:05.029 --> 02:08.946
box food for them that was made up in Michigan.

02:10.018 --> 02:11.546
Everything you can possibly think of.

02:11.546 --> 02:13.121
Think of it as like a mini Wal-Mart,

02:13.121 --> 02:14.687
is what we're having for the families.

02:14.687 --> 02:15.964
Basically set up just like our

02:15.964 --> 02:17.343
Emergency Family Assistance Center.

02:17.343 --> 02:18.176
Families are going to come in.

02:18.176 --> 02:19.934
What do you need, and then they're gonna hand out

02:19.934 --> 02:22.122
the stuff that the families need.

02:22.122 --> 02:23.539
So, very excited!

02:24.316 --> 02:28.483
This is such, it just makes me so happy to see them happy.

02:29.108 --> 02:31.213
And to be able to help and assist with them.

02:31.213 --> 02:32.713
It's beyond words.

02:33.806 --> 02:35.768
It's an absolutely life-changing event

02:35.768 --> 02:39.018
to be able to assist with the families.

02:39.086 --> 02:40.856
- [Interviewer] Eileen, talk to me.

02:40.856 --> 02:43.358
How do you feel now most the supplies are gone?

02:43.358 --> 02:45.433
- It feels wonderful, it really does.

02:45.433 --> 02:49.359
And to be thanked by people up and down the road,

02:49.359 --> 02:51.942
and just how grateful they are,

02:52.012 --> 02:55.794
and it just makes us happy to be able to help.
