I've been kind of struggling with this question. It's more of a family matter than mine personally, but I'm really looking to get your insight on it.

0:14.0

So we had a strange family members for like the last 15 years that recently reached out within the last two weeks, um,

0:21.1

because, um, one of them passed away and the other, um, needs financial support, um,

0:26.0

but they're not explicitly looking for it.

0:29.2

So basically what it looks like is, um, the relation to me is that there, my

grandmother passed away and my uncle had been living with my grandmother.

0:37.0

And it was just the two of them for the last period of time.

I don't know all of the details on exactly what it is. I personally don't even believe that it is a health condition. What is it? Is prohibiting him? I'm not exactly sure. I don't know all of the details on exactly what it is.

1:29.6

I personally don't even believe that it is a health condition. I think he's just trying to use it as a

1:33.4

guilt trip. Exactly. But that's my personal view on that. I don't have the facts.

1:37.0
