And and to try to make a connection with our listeners who may be looking for those types of services may be baked goods, you know, landscaping painting, whatever whatever it is. And they’re able to tell their story. Make a connection and help build community and local business obsolete. They this is important essential part of our local economy, creating jobs, first of all and Secondly create services that you know, are partially provided to our residents and tourists, right? Yeah. Not just lines up with our philosophy because we’ve talked to back sometime prior podcasts about just breaking the whole paradigm of this season non-seasoned thing or whatever and just a straight line economy. None of this were trying to break that paradigm of the season on season. Although we know there are some economic differences. It’d be awesome to be able to build up the economy during cooling Kuti off-season. Well. I mean, if you business you pay bills whole year, it’s electric, you know, FBI, I’ll just call you. The par- company says listen of you know, season ended so white keep your bills. No. Sylla’s give you break the business base. The Bill all the time.

They lived up north in the cold weather, saying I’m not gonna live that in that type of environment in my in my older years I’m going to enjoy the sun being Naples. This is a great place. Well, the dynamics are changing, and they’re still going to change because you know, when we think also just just think about the businesses or whatever. And then those that are coming down and becoming employees working here. This isn’t a cheap place to live. Now. He’s not so the economy’s going to change.

Yes, I will do that. And so today, we’re going to talk a little bit about a great organization down here. And that is. Saint Matthews house, and it is a charity that really reaches out to the community. And we’re gonna share about some of those things, but let me just tell you what their mission statement is to change lives in the spiritual environment that is both compassionate and disciplined as we provide housing for the homeless food for the needy and comfort for the addicted and suffering in you know, that seems to be kind of problem today when you think about just not getting darker wherever the opiates and just addictions, and all that type of stuff, and sometimes people just fall out in life in it’s great to have an organization like this here in our community and call your county that could provide assistance for people that are need in fact, just last week in cars on fifth cracked, right? And that whole thing was a sponsored by the friars club. But but all the donations the money were given to Saint Matthews house, and it was Salihi, you know, amazing event. And I hope they race a lot of money that will help a lot. Of needy people because you know, I think is it’s subject that no many people wanna talk about. But it’s it’s part of life. It’s part of every community. And it’s part of, you know, something that can happen very quickly in anybody and he’s buddies life. And if you end up in situations like that, you know, it’s it’s something you need to support any help. So they’re professionals, and they’re, you know, people on the board that defined the ready to step in and help even like, for example, you were talking about divine spa. They know might people know, but what they do is they provide direct services to women of abuse of is it’s shelter abuse of children children. They invite three-part Spence once a month to receive free treatment free of charge. Great. They logged it adores. Nobody can get in. And nobody knows they come in. And just just provide a service vendor. Full service to people. That need that. And what else, you know, moderate in in situation when she so stressed out. She can appreciate more than just feel beautiful of and she received facial or somebody will can completely locks and just forget about troubles for one hour wondering, and you know, they don’t even talk about it.
