Got her back audit. She sent me a text a couple weeks ago and just really sort of felt like she was in a panic because she says now She can't afford to drive her kid to get the cancer treatments because the round trip is 300 miles and she can't afford to put gas in the car. Right. So we're trying to figure out, you know, get her some help here, but how many people across our country are experiencing the same thing. (48:59–49:10)
