My wife is sick. In 2014, she went through two brain surgeries a year chemo and she died brain cancer in May of 21. I've been listening just to get me through all this. I just somehow flipped to it on the radio and it just gets me through my day.

For many years, my brother, he was ill and undiagnosed. He'd be fine. Then not fine. In times of stress, he hears voices or thoughts. They're usually really awful. In recent years, he discovered that if he only listens to UCB Christian radio and not other types of music that he used to when he was younger, that when he wakes up, he doesn't hear the voices he hears the lyrics from the songs on UCB Radio. And hears all the time words about God and praise and mercy. And UCB seems to just wipe out what the other voices are trying to say.

Kids go to Catholic High School and, you know, first year my daughter entered, she came from a public school into the Catholic system and she was honestly in her case, she would get on the bus and she was bullied every day. Someone who was in grade 10 and it was, it was awful. It was a challenging time. And, you know, I taught my, my son. He's 13 now, Grade 8. You know, last year he had a horrible experience that he kept to himself and he was being bullied. So you know, I I feel for this child and my heart just ugh. And I know, like the radio station is so impactful, if that is pouring into that child, then that's just an amazing thing that God is using in the times in this world when things are just so hard. Pours into that. So if we could up our giving by $10 a month, I just feel that just something we can make work, even though things are hard and I love this radio station. Our--like I said, our kids listen to it. Our teenagers, all teenagers, and they all listen to it and it's, it's impactful and even on our walk last night, me and my one daughter, she she brought the Earpods along and we each put one in our ear. We were listening as we were out on our on our walk last night. Right. And it it's moving in their lives. It moves in our lives. And I just want to keep that going for everybody out there.
