“It’s like everyone…especially our minorities …they are feeding from hand to mouth. [Before now] it’s like we work today, eat today and tomorrow taking care of itself and now we are in this mess.
“We are just trying to make life better for everyone around us in any way we can even though it’s not our job. We’re not the government,” he added.
