Helping people only thing that counts

This is a reply regarding the recent statement from a man in Paradise. I applaud you for being so versatile on the subject of the SCCFF and my story. Though, if people want to know anymore than what I have stated on the said organization, they will have to call them. I still think that it is none of anyone’s business to know the salary of the workers who hold positions there. Even if I knew the answer to the question on the number of men helped in the last year, I wouldn’t tell anyone! It is not for us to judge. As I pointed out before, we all know the numbers for men will be low because they just don’t simply report it. As for my mom, Mary Curry, she was just defending me! She doesn’t want to have to go to visit my grave because of what is going on and she is relieved that the coalition is able to help prevent that from happening as much as they can.
