I'm just trying to help out.

As i said earlier, follow the protocol, and if i can do some running for people that don't want to go out, don't want to go shopping, don't want to be in contact with that many people, i've got the time to do it right now.

This is what i want to do.

I want to give back.

I want to be god's servant.

That's really on my heart, and i hope people
