Staunton Wall Crawler

“I mean, I just want to help people. I’m aware the world can be really bad sometimes, and I certainly don’t have the answers to fix it, but my aunt tells me ‘When you help someone, you help everyone’ and I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to help others”
— Staunton Wall Crawler
