A volunteer at Cal's Angels explains why a simple thank you feels better than getting paid. Genuine gratitude for unpaid help creates a stronger emotional reward than any paycheck, affirming that the work mattered.

What I'm proud of is when anyone says thank you. It makes me proud that I've done something.
Yeah.
They're like, you do this, Cal's Angels, you helped our family so much. They go, this stuff, just thank you for doing that. They go, we know, we found out that you don't even get paid to do it. I go, you know what, I do get paid.
Yeah. Right there. 100%. You should do things without wanting anything in return, right? But there's nothing that does make you feel better than just a thank you.
I don't want anything else but just if I go out of my way to help you, a simple, hey man, Thanks. Yeah.
