Episode 1: Every Second Counts

Sheg and Carlana are determined to raise the money to ease Eric's burden of debt. Eric grew up in South Central Los Angeles and is about to graduate from UCLA School of Medicine. When he does, he will have $206,000 in student loans to pay off. The sooner he pays off the loans, the sooner he will be able to fulfill his dreams of working with children and correcting physical deformities free of charge.
