It's a charity. Government don't pay shit. They don't care.
I just keep people from killing themselves. Even then I don't really do anything. It's generally very easy because people inherently don't want to die.
They want the suffering to stop. If anything what we do is worse by keeping them alive we solve none of those problems.
Also I don't do much at all. Mostly it's run by volunteers and I just deal with crisis calls and active suicides.
