Alright.

Let's go, lets go!

I don't know why we're so grouped up in the back Hey!

You can't be selfish, you have to be selfless.

I really feed off of that regardless of what that may have been.

If it's helping some kids across the street, as long as I am giving rather than taking.

Adults don't like necessarily walking through the Tenderloin.

Can you imagine what a six or seven-year-old must feel?

There was a girl walking by herself.

So we've got two corner captains walking her to here.

They'll go back to their corners, and then we will pick up and take her to the Boys and Girls Club, which is just up the street.

Our model I guess is trying to create a culture of safety within the community.

Alright honey, take care have a good day.

See this person right here?

I don't if you've been noticing him.

That's another thing that we have to worry about because there's a lot of people that are out on the streets that shouldn't be on the streets.

I'm a Vietnam era vet.

I enlisted because I didn't want to be in Vietnam being shot at.

Or having to shoot somebody.

So I chose to go into the Navy for four years rather than doing that.

Safe passage, that's right, that's right!

But that doesn't mean that I didn't want to serve my country.

So Stephen is one of our first corner captains.

Everybody knows Stephen in this neighborhood, so he's pretty much a local celebrity.

Hey, alright, how are you, how are you?

And it just creates that positive atmosphere on the corner, which is that has an effect that changes what the walk home from school is like for kids, what it feels like.

And so he is a big part of that.

Well thank you, Kate.

Yeah!

Whoever this guy is he must be a nice guy.

He is a nice guy.

I joined the Peace Corps after doing two years for AmeriCorps.

I don't want to go through life having a job that doesn't make me feel good.

I do the shift every day.

I feel restored after each time and I never thought that would be the case you know standing on a corner in the middle of the Tenderloin, but it is.

Hi, how are you?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Yeah, I'm ok. Yeah.

It's a process.

It's just gonna take me a while to get over the loss.

I lost my wife last month to cancer of 26 years.

And I'm on fixed income.

Because I'm poor.

I don't have the money.

Because of Kate, and her tireless work on my behalf, I was able to afford to put my wife to rest in a respectful, decent way.

And if it wasn't for her, that would not have happened, so...

The best.

Really the best.

You're the best!

That meant a lot to me.

Everybody wants to feel connection, you know.

And this is...

Mine is at a community level.

This is where I have that.

Just the amount of time that you spend helping people I really feed off that.

I really like helping people.

It's surprising how many people will walk by and thank us for being here.

It really makes you feel good.

It's dedication to the whole community.

We work together.

Be careful!

We're really a family and so it benefits the community.

For such a long time in my life I was always me, me, me.

And as I got older, things started to shift a little bit.

Just in case, when I go before St. Peter at the gates, I want to make sure that the ledger has something on the positive column.
