We arrived here yesterday afternoon because we knew that we had no choice in a sense. And their service is superb. all they ask is say, thank you and smile who can't afford to do that. The only question that I ask you to answer is where does it hurt Remote area Medical provides free dental vision and medical care by way of Papa clinics. all across the United States. We'll take a school. we'll take a fair grounds. We'll take a racetrack and we'll turn it into a place where people can come and get free medical cares. We're getting some dental work today. Dental includes cleanings extractions fillings. Vision is a complete eye exam and go home with a pair of glasses that day medical goes from women's health to the dietary deep breath wound care everything in between. We're just thankful to be here. We don't make much money and take home something dollars a month so scared. She makes me wait. Since we were started, we've treated over 750000 individuals. It's a first come first serve basis, no matter and I've never had a clinic. We open the doors and there's nobody out there. Sometimes it's 1200 people lined up for the whole weekend. I've seen people that have camped out two or three days before clinic opens up. It's clear we have a health care problem in our country. It's clear there are people that are suffering that are in need having to choose right now between paying their rent and and buying their medication. That person out then that's a good positive thing. We couldn't do this clinics without the volunteers. We can only treat as many people as we have providers. So it's basically how many volunteers show up at day's work here can make a significant impact on people for years to come at the end of the clinics. I always have at least a few people who come up and shake my hand, Tell me they're so thankful for the glasses that they're able to see and those are the ones that really leave an impact on you. I saw a little boy in Oklahoma who got glasses for the first time in his life and he walk out and he was amazed because he could see a burden. a treat he had never seen a burden. A tree don't read about them in books and now of the glasses we were able to provide we were able to get him that gift of sight. I've seen people that literally cry. they're so happy to finally get the relief from the pain they were in this is needed. This is making a difference in so many people's lives. It's needed worldwide, not just this community every city. Town in America needs it, They are a blessing to commit. We can't do it without the volunteers seeing people come and give themselves and give up their talents and stepping forward and donating their time and their efforts and our energy and seeing the relief on patients faces. that's priceless. It's priceless. Thank you.
