I wish I still lived in Philly for I would take Labria in. God Bless you beautiful girl. I owned a lovely brownstone downtown, Washington Square. I fell on hard times & had to majorly downsize & got an apartment in Kensington on Diamond & Hancock. I had to walk down to the Ave regularly to take the el to work. On my way home from work one night( I bartended so it was late ) when I got of the el & was walking home ( I always carried mase for not safe for a woman to walk alone in Kensington, especially late at night) I saw a young man laying on a dirty dilapidated mattress with no shirt on, shivering for it was close to wintertime & very cold outside (plus it was starting to rain). I stopped and asked his name & what was he doing out in the cold. He was dirty & looked like he had been in a fight. He also was a very attractive young man. He said his name was Nicky & that he is homeless & had been living on the streets for the past 6 years. My heart dropped & I just couldn't just walk by him without offering some help. I know I was taking a huge risk, for he also stated he was hooked on cocaine & heroin, but I couldn't bare to just leave him in the state he was in. So I offered him to come home with me to take a shower, get some clean clothing (I had some of my ex's clothes), eat a hot meal, & get a good night's sleep on my comfy couch. Nicky was extremely excited & grateful for he also had stated that people were after him...another risk I was taking allowing him into my home. I told him that he had to promise me he would not steal anything & he promised, though I was extremely nervous due to him being an addict. So I brought Nicky into my home, cooked him a nice hot meal, he took a shower, & I gave him clean pjs to put on & a clean change of clothes for the next day. I created a comfortable set up on my couch, & he fell asleep minutes
after laying down. The next day when I woke up (it was 1pm in the afternoon for I did not get to sleep till after 5am), Nicky was fast asleep & looked so peaceful so I let him sleep. Around 4pm when I had to leave shortly for work I woke him up & told him I had to leave for work & that he had to leave but when I was finished working he could come back & sleep over again. Nicky begged to stay, but I was afraid to leave him there alone & I told him to meet me where I found him sometime after 2am. He walked me to the el & I gave him a big hug & $20, even though I knew the money was most likely going towards drugs. This cycle repeated for a month & on my days off, I spent time getting to know this beautiful, intelligent young man. I bought him clothing, took him out to eat, & for the first time in many years, Nicky recieved kindness, true friendship, & love, for he had a father who beat him & his mother passed away when he was only 5 year old. My landlord eventually caught on to what he called my "forbidden houseguest", & threatened to evict me if he or someone reported to see Ncky at my place again. He was devastated & begged for me to still let him stay, but I could not risk it plus I just could not afford to keep supporting him. So sad. There is a park across the street from where I lived & Nicky was always there at night when I got home from work. He would sleep on the benches, yell to me to please let him in, but I just couldn't. He was there when I would leave for work & he still would walk me to & from the el before & after. I offered many times to get him help, even going as far as getting him into rehab (he left after a few hours), getting him enrolled into a methadone program (he quit after one week), getting him public assistance (he ended up selling his food stamps)...but nothing helped for I guess he did not want or was not ready to quit the street life. Eventually, after a good 3 months of seeing Nicky regularly, he disappeared. Last time I saw him, his beautiful face & body was mangled from a gang of men beating him up & he was in a very bad state physically & mentally (Nicky also was a paranoid schizophrenic). He begged me again to stay over that night( he did every time I saw him) it severely pained me, but I just couldn't, then he just disappeared. I eventually saved up, & ended up moving to Southern California for a fresh start & change of scenery (I was also going through a very rough break up with my ex whom I was with for 8 yrs prior the duration of my Nicky experience). 2 months after moving, I get a call from my old landlord in Kensington that he found Nicky...DEAD on the stairs leading to my old apartment. Inside Nicky's pocket, was a letter for me stating that he just got out of jail, is clean, & wanted to thank me for being the nurturing Mother he never had, & if I could talk to my landlord about letting him move in for he was planning to get a job to contribute. Burto, my old landlord, found him with a needle still stuck in his arm. Nicky was only 22 years old. I so very wish I could remember his last name for I wanted to try & contact a relative . Nicky died alone, thrown away like trash in a dumpster. This was in 2014 (when I got the call). I still think about Nicky to this day & sometimes I talk to him hoping he can hear me. It makes my heart smile to at least know he knew he was important & loved by someone...I was all Nicky had that would not hurt him. I miss & love you sweet Nick. I am so sorry I was not there that day & could not save you, but you know I had given & did everything I could to try😢🤗
Melissa Petras missing Chris Cornell God bless you, the world needs more people like you!!!!
You're an angel and Thank you
If this is a true story that is an amazing one, albeit with a sad end unfortunately
You are a beautiful soul and it's too bad Nicky never got to tell you that,or get help.What a kind woman and people need to do more with these HUMAN BEINGS!Would you help a cold starving animal---I would and do, summer and winter! Talk to all types of people,but fortunately where I live in Canada,a small City there isn't much of it and have a few shelters.Have never seen anyone sleep on the street, but have been asked for $Spent hours talking with people in bigger city's and love to hear their stories and always give them money! Don't care what they do with it, because if you ask I think it's demeaning!🌱🌹🌹🌹
Melissa that was a lovely thing to do. I'm so sorry Nicky didn't make it, you were there for him. Xx
What a beautiful, bright little lady she deserves so much more than this life✨
Praying for little Labrea❣️
This man has some real ass heart, it’s beautiful.
My soul goes out to these ppl.
Thank you, Frank R, for humanizing this epidemic and for treating the addicts that you speak with dignity. Important work
Facts...
You can start by not calling them addicts. You could just call them people. That label is dehumanizing
Damn this brought me to tears. She blew me away when she started talking. A educated young woman who speaks very well. Heartbreaking she's in this spot. I wish I could bring her to my home and just love her.
Awwwwwh Super Sadddd
Wow !!! I hope she stays safe...
Jenny Me too ! This should Never have to happen to a child ! NEVER !!!! So very sad !!! Her parents should be protecting her !!!!!!!
@Adolf Stallin u real low life for saying some shit like that smh yu can't call troll everything smh your just sick in the mind sick af get some help dude
I agree completely...
To blame the parents for everything is not fair. My little brother is an addict. My parents did everything. When he ran away we'd spend our days and nights looking for him. As soon as he was found and brought home. He'd run away again. He was in counseling, on medication, in school, then something changed. He was on K2 as well and he was always high. He had been using drugs since he was 13yrs old. My parents did EVERYTHING for him. He started stealing and landed himself in juvenile jail for most of his teenage life. When he came home he was worse than when he left. Every body wants to blame the parents but when a child has in their mind that they want to run the streets.....there is not much you can do to change that especially when drugs are involved. My parents had him in classes about the affects of drugs, he'd been in rehab a couple of times. Had him riding around with police officers to speak with him. Cops came to the house...and placed him in programs that could help him. He graduated HS in one of those programs. At 17, he decided he didnt want to be in my parents home and wanted be in South Florida with his older brother, so my parents bought him a ticket and he was gone. Once he got to his brother's house.....he ran away again. He became homeless and ended up in prison. Im not disregarding anyone's story because i know many children who really have no one to lean on, no one to care. But there are some who do have that and make the decision to be in the streets.
Very well said, many forget people are individuals in reality no matter how you raise them etc.. Most serial killers had upstanding parents that now blame themselves for the disgusting shit their kid did (even though there was absolutely nothing they could have done or changes to be made to stop it from happening)... people are individuals... many take it in....many don't.... it is what it is unfortunately.
Tiffanie Turner Oh Yes They Should’ve Never Brought him into this Pieceashit World To Begin With they Knew Good & Goddamned Well Of the Risks of bringing kids into Existence.This is WHY I proudly Support Abortions & Suicide because this Life Ain’t Worth a Shit Anymore no matter how much the Sheeple May say it is...ANTI-NATALIST/ATHEIST 4 LYFE.
@@GABRIELADAWSON He was adopted, so my parents didn't choose to bring him into this world. They chose to adopt children less fortune, when they had the ability to have more of their own children. Everyone has a choice...and should have a choice for the kind of life they live. I respect your position though.
Thank you for sharing this truth prayers to
You your brother and mom and dad the real OG’s
I just fell upon your channel. I live in the area and have a 20 yr old niece who is suffering with this addiction. I drive all around looking for her and watch youtube videos to see if I can see her in the background. That's when I found your amazing channel. I am totally blown away. So much respect. Congrats on your sobriety! No way to tell you enough how amazing it is that you have recovered and can be around others like this and be able to have that amazing will to not only stay sober, but to help others. God bless. Wish I could help somehow. Please keep doing this. You are an Angel sent to help with their demons.
I just wanna give her a big hug! I can't stop the tears falling down my face right now!
Same.
You are a good man and an example for others.
Lwosw thank you
He didn't do shot for her to her goodbye and goodluck!!
This brought tears to my eyes! As a father of 3, this breaks my heart NO child should not be loved, not have a home, or have to experience what they are experiencing on the streets! This enraged me as well, the system fails people daily! Rich politicians sitting in their comfort of their homes while a child like this is looking for food or a place to keep warm! Thank you for what you do and the videos you give us!
I've been homeless several times. I remember being cold, alone, and scared when I ran away for the final time at 12. Every time was bc of D/V.

My name is Wilfredo Rosario im an electrician over 20 years . 14 as a Journeyman i completed a 4 year apprenticeship program. If u dont have a electrician i think i can help with your project the sober living house .
Coconutraiders@gmail.com is my contact info . I dont do social media .
REAL talk
Bless you Wilfredo.
She’s so beautiful! Her smile is heavenly.. god please keep this young girl❤️
As a Mother of 5 children, I can not fathom any of them being in this situation. I would literally pull up asphalt getting to my kids and her Mom doesn't even bother come looking for her? This young woman needs a good female mentor... So heartbreaking
I'm guessing that the mother has had her children taken away.
they prefer to sleep on the street instead of w/their family at home. that tells u how eggregious the abuse is at home. their parents need to be brought to justice.
Shut the fuck up Adolf use a real bozo
Some people don’t have anybody
@Adolf Stallin fuck is wrong with you man? Have a bit of compassion mate
@jerry flounders must be trolling.....surely no one is that heartless?
first last If we began to lockup parents for their incredible failures (and we likely should) we couldn’t build enough prisons in the US to accommodate these fools.
This is exactly why no one should be judging anyone on the street!! This poor girl will eventually grow into a woman who people tend to treat like crap thinking she’s just another “junkie” on the street when she’s not, she’s lost because she has no parents, which then leads to homeless adults. People don’t get it and it’s so sad. I’m recovering, just hit 3 years September 22nd, thanks for being such an inspiration!! I always wanted to go and help with things like this and give back! I thankfully got out of that place years ago but some aren’t so lucky.
Congratulations Michelle!
Dianna Marie Thank you so much ❤️
@@Michelle-lq1xm , you're welcome!
I was am addict for years. Never thought I'd go "that far". But, I did. I wasn't raised with good coping skills. Didn't know how to deal with life, without a crutch. Years later, I knew I had to get out, and I did. God plucked me from the depths of hell. I was a victim of "gang stalking" too, which made it even harder tho recover. Still dealing with bullying. But, I can now hold my own. Sober and happy. I draw my strength from God. Or, I wouldn't make it at all. I had lost my house, my husband, my dog and my health. Happy to report that I am still married going on 24 years. I truly appreciate your videos because they remind me of what I went thru. I pray and love every one of God's children. I'd love to do more. I think it's time that I help others. Regardless of my past hurt and pain.
This little girl still has an innocence about her. Sounds like she is escaping the foster care system. I pray she and her boyfriend are protected.
That little girl is so sweet hope she gets some help
She’s so beautiful and smart. I want to bring her into my home and give her a fighting chance at the life she truly deserves. This breaks my heart and soul 💔
Do it.
Bless you brother. I'm 2 yrs completely clean and sober.
You are an inspiration...you may be the only person in recovery they come across.
This brought me to tears. I'll think of you all and also reach out to others when I can.
Thank you for your words and congrats on your clean time. Keep it up
She’s beautiful I wish I could rescue her, I’m from north Philly living in Vegas. Life was rough for me too, with mom and stepdad on drugs . I had to fiend for myself from age 15. Hang in there baby grl , you can make it out .
I so admire, what you're Doing!!!!!
Thank you
He inspires me to do it for my city
Acquire what you admire
@@MORALSOVERMONEY1 can we get an update on this young lady, Frank?
Praying a pregnancy doesn’t happen 😭. Young and homeless 🙏😭so sad. I hope they are staying safe warm and fed!
She's the leader having a 14yoa kid tag along with her... #clever
That’s what I’m worried about.
@@criticfortheuploader2035 she's a kid too. Just bcus she's 15 doesn't means she's the brains of operation. Ppl with your way of thinking is something else.
I dont think this one has ovaries
Sometimes pregnancy helps them straighten their lives out most of the time it doesn’t tho
Hi Labrea, You are beautiful. I love that haircut on you! I pray that you are in a safe place. I’m praying for you.
Me too, Frank. I watch to stop myself from losing the manufactured home my old man bought for us, after his dad died. I have to pay rent on my lot, forever. If I don't, I will get it taken from me. If I go out again, I lose it all.
I keep seeing CHILDREN on these blues, it makes me sick. I was introduced to free base at 15, older boyfriend, 22. I didn't understand that I was now addicted to everything I tried. Opiates were my downfall, wish I had known. You are doing great work, just talking!! This country does not really get how big this problem is. I am 60 now, addicted since 1995, still alive, on Suboxone. Jeannie
Her eyes still have that sparkle. I wish I could save her and give her my love. My girls are 17, 14 and 11. I CAN'T even imagine.
God bless her!. 😢 I would love an update!. I pray they both get well. The boyfriend is only 14 && he’s already addicted. 😞 Lord cover them!!!!!.
Exactly.
She just broke my heart. She has the most beautiful smile and I can't stop the tears from coming down. I will keep her in my prayers. And Frank I thank you for your channel, I have watched so many of your videos and you treat everyone with kindness and like they are a human, which some people forget. Some people tend to forget that we don't know their situation that has brought them here. I pray for you 🙏 too as well. I'd there anyway when can send money that can help this sweet child, especially for Christmas, and clothes?
God bless you 🙏
I'm happy you got clean and doing this your giving back.
My whole story I know exactly how they feel I've been on my own since I was 14 and now by the grace of God I'm 40 like you said everyone has a story 🙏🙏🙏
This is important work you're doing. Thank you for these videos. Wish there was more I could do to help.
Labrea, if you read this. I wish you the best. Please go to a church somewhere and see if they can help you and your boyfriend get to a safe place to be. You are really pretty and do not need to be on the streets..no one does. Go to a church and try to find someone to help you . I am going to be praying for you. You are very special young person. You seem to have a good personality , and I bet you could help other people get off the street. My best to you...God bless you. If you ever get to a place where you can respond back to this video, keep all of updated on your life, if you can.
Is it a update or cashapp for these kids?
Such a little cutie pie. This hurts my soul. These are just babies!! Lord why??
How can any parent not want anything to do with their child? You brought them into this world and it is your responsibility to provide for and protect them.
im glad u give patience..and time to talk about this type of stuff. thats wht it really needs...time and patience
Your videos show such a authentic perspective . People looking from the outside perspective always assume its so simple to climb out from a whole.
thank you thats my goal
She’s such a pretty girl, Lord, I pray for her to get outta there. Bless her heart
I love these videos because my brother is an addict and these videos touch my heart I still miss him some much he was my best friend I miss him I’m sorry he’s gone gone so far he’s losing himself I love him and I feel guilty he’s gone he could’ve been better he was so good at everything school sports and now it’s all gone I miss him and want him to come back he started at 15 but no one knew he doesn’t deserve any miss treatment from no one or anyone I miss him
Tu eres muy bonita
This made me cry. Such a beautiful young lady. Dont give up love
God Bless you Frank, we need more people like you. You have a good heart and because of your kindness and understanding you will be able to reach a lot of people to show them someone cares about their safety and well-being. Take care, praying for you and those who are less fortunate.
My youngest daughter is 15. This is unacceptable. I really pray she can get off the street and her boyfriend can also get the help he needs:(
Hey thanks a lot for telling the lost but not forgotten souls who are in the struggle of survival. I'm myself is also a recovering addict and I hope that this video stops someone and help someone to go and get help. God bless.
thats my hopes
You are truly a beautiful soul, my man. You radiate it.
Thank God for people like you.
Keep doing what your doing. Youll be blessed. And thank you, for being a friend and possibly even a saviour to other souls suffering in desperate need.
Such a bright young girl in a sad situation. I really hope that things turn out alright for both her and her boyfriend
I live in Jacksonville FL, and thought it was bad HERE, but the footage you showed was jaw dropping! It looked like skid row in Cali. And to see children on the street's, in that life, breaks my heart. Ive been clean for 8 years now. And ABSOLUTELY believe in my heart, that the strong FAMILY SUPPORT and LOVE has been the pillar that's helped me stay that way. And I'm 38!!!! They are babies, babies!! God Bless you and what your doing is SOOOO IMPORTANT!! You have my support and prayers. Thank you.
It truly is like a punch in the gut to see children in situations like this. I take everyone at face value and always try to help out with a meal or whatever else someone might need when I am in the area, the only thing I dont hand out is cash.
Adam Lewandoski , YES she's a beautiful young girl with lots of potential... I hope n pray that she don't get turned out on drugs n prostitution! Somebody need to turn that girl in to child welfare so they can get her off the streets!!😧
You have such a pure genuine heart thank you for not being judgemental and helping tell their stories
You seem like a good dude man. It’s great you open the eyes of those who have no idea that there are places of such sadness right in our backyard.
Got 4 years clean on July 22nd. I desperately want to do somthing like this, I feel that helping people like this is somthing I am and will continue to be very passionate about. I gotta find a local organization like this. Bless you my man.
Love what your doing. But as this video hits me right in my soul. I was a teen runaway..it was me all me. My parents were not to blame at all. I was a brat and I hope you see that it's not always where the parents have failed their children .I pray those kids come around and get their lives together. I know this..at 51 years old I am so different than the 15 yr old runaway I was. I've battled addiction my whole life. I had undiagnosed mental health issues ,bipolar...My parents were good,this is just my story😁😸
Lord please bless these children God Bless you for talking to her
Damn that one got me..where is her family
I had to start fending for myself since the age of 14 I could of so ended up like this it’s mind blowing
Teens seem to I think all parents do is argue with them about everything and most of the time we’re just trying to redirect them for what we think is best for them😭
Man this blew my mind, Mr Morales I would love to help. I live in philly
Frank: What kind of things do u see?
Girl: The other day some guy got his face blown off. My God I pray for those children! 🙏🏼🙏🏼💙💙🙏🏼🙏🏼
YES THERE IS A GOD NO MATTER HOW ROUGH LIFE IS SHE STILL mantane A BEAUTIFUL SMILE MAY GOD BLESS YOU YOUNG LADY 😊😊😊PHILLY ALEEK 😎😎😎😎✌✌✌✌✌
2 1/2 years clean of down well almost started on 28 mg of suboxne and down to 2mg will be stopping dec 15th 2019 and hope to be clean for the first time in 6 years for Christmas. I could not have done it with out my wife and In-laws I could not imagine being alone with out support. God bless you and the work your doing.
Travis Howells God bless you.
God bless, thanks for doing what you do and setting the example , this is my second video I’ve watched , your going to go very far brother
Bless her sweet heart. This interview really got to me. I can't hardly see to type through the tears. I know this was 4 years ago but I sincerely hope and pray they're able to leave that place. My Lord, I can't even fathom being a child like that and living in that hell hole. May God shower grace upon them. Thank you, for caring about these lost souls. May God keep you and your family safe, healthy, blessed and compassionate. Amen. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Frank, you are truly an Angel from God. I live in Australia and have never seen anything like your videos. Australia has a drug problem, I pray it doesn't get to become another Kensington. I will be saying a special prayer tonight for all these lost soles.
You are doing God’s work, Frank. I have recently had to educate myself more fully about addiction, because my 37 yo is an alcoholic. I understand that addicts are in pain. I have since moved to TN for a period of time, and my eyes have been opened to the fact that parents everywhere are failing their children at very high rates. We have to do better. I admire you. I have often thought how much I would love to be of help to these addicts, but, those who know me tell me that I would never be able to do so, because I would not last 24 hrs there. I just want to say thank you to you for all you do. I know it help you also, and is a reminder to you that at any time, you could find yourself relapsing. You are/a hero, although I doubt that is what you want to hear, and I’m certain you are not seeking hero status. But, know that others, like me, see you, and appreciate you.
Thank you Frank for these stories. They are beyond heartbreaking yet the humanity of these people still shines through.
“People that don’t even know you care about you”
OOH I felt that in my chest!!
She speaks better than most adults... I hate this.
Truth
She have a Beautiful Smile
Truth. God bless her
OneLove Loner Same. I pray she gets a chance at a good life ♥️
This interview completely shattered my heart. She has so much promise and should not have to be exposed to these elements. I pray that she is housed and protected from this cold world before anything takes a turn for the worse. This is such a shame that this is what people especially CHILDREN in this country have to endure. It’s so painful.
Always be grateful for what you have ,
Hello Frank,I stumbled upon your page and subscribed- May God bless you 100 folds for the wonderful work that you do.I would be interested to know how Ms Labrea is today? I hope that she and her boyfriend have been blessed to receive help and are no longer homeless.
What a beautiful young woman. My 14 year old daughter and I just watched her together. I am in recovery for 3 years. My daughter shared whilst we watched this that she felt we I was drinking that I didn't love her and that she will pray this girls mum get sober and cops on!
Out of the mouths of babes..my daughter also said at least she loves to read she'll never be lonely if she reads. I she'd a tear... I am all signed up as a foster parents for troubled teens in Ireland. I need 5 years sobriety. I pray I get to support someone as beautiful, Intelligent and kind as this young lady. God bless her and keep her safe. She deserves so much better!
Such a BEAUTIFUL young SOUL. I PRAY God LEADS and DIRECTS her PATH she's STILL a child. THANK you, Frank, for being AVAILABLE and letting God USE you. It saddens me that the Philadelphia Eagles and the 76 ers want to WIN a CHAMPIONSHIP but they are not out there giving back to the community. If you can't set aside your self then how can you CALL yourself a child of God? I THANK God for you FRANK because you are STEEPING out of FAITH being the example the entire world NEEDS to SEE. God BLESS you and your family man! Keep up the good WORK! Truly not one selfish bone in your body.
I'm watching here in Australia. You, Sir are an amazing human being. Much respect!
And what a beautiful child. Beautiful smile. All children are innocent and none deserve that life. No matter what. I hope she finds a way and keeps safe.
Its sad😪! You are doing a Awesome job giving back and being a beacon of light for the Philadelphians of Kensington. May God Bless you and continue Blessing you and the work you are doing!!!❤🙌🙏
I liked the STOP sign in the frame behind her. Thanks for posting.
What a beautiful young lady...lovely smile and those dimples....I will pray
I'm fighting I've got 3 years clean but still fight everyday to keep clean. I'm in the UK I wanted to say keep doing what your doing ❤
She is so beautiful. Beautiful smile and yes you can still see the innocence in her. I do hope she gets off the streets soon, before her innocent light burns out. The streets can kill anyone’s joy or zeal & get the best of them. Much love & strength, baby girl! Better days are ahead.
She is definitely a beautiful young woman God Bless you! 😘
Thank you for these videos , I have 3yrs clean off heroin & hard. One day at a time is all we have , live it to the fullest. I pray that ALL the people in your videos get clean and healthy.
Hi Frank prayers up for this beautiful young girl & her male friend..I know this interview was 2 years ago..How Is young Labrea I'd like to know how she's doing..✝️✝️❤️❤️
Dude I like your channel. I'm 4 years clean off meth. Life can be good
.. Time heals all. Good luck in sharing your experience strength and hope
You're a Fantastic person Frank to care about these people whom are basically in pain and lost. It breaks me heart
So sad🥲 She’s beautiful! I hope and pray they both stay safe and find their way home 🙏🏻🙏🏻
God Bless You and your family always...and all of those struggling out there! Many prayers sent. Been through it for a long time. Still struggling.
I hope you continue these videos because people really need to see the state of Kensington! Its so bad. People talk about north Philly being bad but you dont know until you see it for yourself. And when it comes to your kids, you need to be loving and protecting them. 🙏 Thank you for this video, I truly hope it goes viral. 🙏
North philly is where I live and it's not bad at all compared to zombie apocalypse in Kensington where I have to step over people to take my son to boxing. Sad
Frank you have a pure soul, we need u!
thank you
You are a top bloke Frank mate that's from the NE of England UK. Things are getting worse here year by year and what your country is going thru is around tge corner from us over here. Iv been down the addiction road myself and have 1 year clean of opioids and benzos. The world needs more strong men like yourself who actually give a fuck about other people as I do myself
Oh god thank you for My life. I'm so grateful. Thank you. 😍
Man it is so sad what these kids are going through. I will pray daily for you and them. Thanks for what you do. You are truly doing gods work
You are a role model, a truly admirable human being. God gave you the heart, I hope he keeps giving you the strength and wisdom to keep doing what you are doing to help all these people. God bless you 🙏🏼❤️
Frank, I think you are strong enough to go back in that community and not get high, I think it actually helps you not to, you realise what you have and don’t want to loose it, going down there, makes you realise what you would loose. You also have a great heart, you haven’t forgotten what you were going through and don’t judge anyone else going through it, you help and want to give back, instead of walk away now your life is on track, that is a great sign of someone in touch with their humanity, you are a great person and the small touch you have on these people, means a lot as they hardly every see humanity.
Her smile makes me tear up bad..... she deserves better than this shit! I hope to god she's not still out there this winter.
Just discovered this interview! Thank you Frank for covering Labrea story. I am heart broken listen to this. Pray things have improved for you. 😢
Hope you've stayed safe and in better place. I have a child similar age and my thoughts are with you ❤
Keep doing Gods work King Respect to you uplift the people u touch Peace n Blessing
I Pray God Guide this Child man She’s so Young I hope everything goes Well for her. I can’t even imagine going through what she’s been through 🙏🏽 Bless You!
You are a good man with a big heart, I can relate to you alot. I am going on 2 years sober and I actually overdosed once myself, I appreciate you helping those who cant or dont know how to help themselves. I mentor people now, who have substance abuse and sexual abuse. Amen for you and your platform and how far you have come, you sir are an inspiration to me. #Amen #MoralsOverMoney #YoureAnInspiration 👏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼
