"It's not really like that, I have friends and family. I stay around here locally. My mom is here. I have a lot of good people helping me. It's not too shabby. A lot of people help out. It goes a long way."

Chase further added:

"I have family and friends, and the housing shelter assistance program. There's graceful charity from the grace of God's family people. That's a pretty chill aspect of it all. It's a true privilege, obviously."
