“Everyone having a right to a safe and stable home benefits us all. I come with no other agenda other than desperately trying to help people who are in need,” William said. “I see that as part of my role. Why else would I be here if I’m not using this role properly to influence and help people where I can? I like a big challenge. I do like that, but I can’t do it on my own.”
