b'When the world goes sideways (natural disasters, once in a century pandemic made 10x worse by lack of empathy and leadership) \\u2026 everyday people (metaphorically) put on tights and capes and fly to the rescue.\\xa0 This week\\u2019s guest is one of those heroes. Our friend Abby whom helped an AMAZING local charity organization do INCREDIBLE things from the very onset of the March 2020 Covid shut down. LLAMA (Lifting Lowellians: Assistance and Mutual Aid) is the organization Jacques\\u2019 families been working with since last April and have again learned that the friends you make, the good you feel \\u2026 volunteering is one of the most selfish things you can do!\\xa0 Abby\\u2019s \\u201cday job\\u201d in social work and history of advocating for those whose voices aren\\u2019t often heard, led us to chat tips on how to get involved, where to find ways to help and how to help direct people to the resources out there. \\xa0There is almost zero talk of Batman or fart jokes \\u2026 our apologies.\\n\\xa0\\nLLAMA - Lifting Lowellians: Assistance and Mutual Aid\\nhttps://www.facebook.com/pg/LowellMutualAid/posts/\\n\\xa0\\nCP: Twitter:\\xa0https://twitter.com/carnivalpodcast\\nCP: Facebook:\\xa0https://www.facebook.com/carnivalpodcast/\\n\\xa0\\nBiff on Twitter is @BiffPlaysHockey\\nJacques Twitter is @TheJacques4\\n\\xa0\\nOpening clip from Billy Murray\\u2019s Scrooged.\\nClosing Song: To Do List by Dan Cray (off the album \\xa0\'Best Ever")'
