I think for me, the connection to Linda and her family story started with that connection of how can you help someone who like you can't change things for them? But from there, then I realized like one of my cousins, her husband, he would show up sometimes he'd be in like a great mood and sometimes he'd kind of not be in a great mood. He was really moody. We found out that he was struggling with an opioid addiction. He's since passed away. So I think, you know, through our connection and through picking things open, I think I realized that this was closer to me than I knew.
