Show Notes
In times of turmoil, Fred Rogers' mom used to tell him to "look for the helpers". The legendary children's entertainer shared the story many times through his television career, most especially when the cruelty of real life felt like too much for his young (and older) audience to bear.
3:30 | Mark Cherrington is one of those helpers. The Edmonton man has dedicated his life to helping marginalized people. From babies without diapers to kids without winter boots, from teens being sexually exploited to seniors who'd otherwise starve, Mark's on call 24 hours a day whenever a serious need arises. Mark joins Ryan in studio to share real life stories from the street, explain how he got started, why he operates independently, and why he's often seen as an enemy of the establishment.
