| 0:00.0 | I want to talk about it. Be strong. My relief effort takes me a couple of hours to decide |
| 0:19.6 | how we can activate and how we can help. We are at war. It has been very challenging |
| 0:25.6 | in the sense that you say something and then you get attacked because I've been so vocal |
| 0:32.6 | and involved an instrumental in relief work around the world. For many years now, I started |
| 0:41.4 | something and I keep getting deeper. We started and I couldn't get rain boots or flip-flops |
| 0:45.8 | literally. I was trying to get Havianas flip-flops and Catherine mattresses and I remember |
| 0:51.0 | rain boots for Hurricane Harvey which was my first relief effort and people were turning |
| 0:56.6 | me away. I ended up doing a $300,000 relief effort with money and in kind which was very |

| 1:42.7 | have formula. Do they have band aids? Do they have wipes? Do they have toothbrushes? Do |
| 1:47.1 | they have hydration packets? We're not at kids backpacks and toys and chargers. We're |
| 1:52.8 | not at construction materials which comes later in the rebuild. It's really very much like |
| 1:57.9 | you're starting to get to ground zero. So the cash cards aren't in places until they have |
| 2:03.0 | electricity and water and things like that. So we've been all around the world from Guatemala |
| 2:09.0 | to Mexico to Puerto Rico to the Bahamas to where my team is still in Maui in Poland and |
| 2:16.6 | Ukraine. I mean, it's really it's remarkable. We've done over $300 million in relief worldwide |
| 2:22.3 | and we do not have pamphlets. We do not have rubber chicken dinner charity events. We don't |
