Narcan from needle exchanges has saved my life 3 times and my brothers twice. Thank you to the volunteers. We have been clean for a few years now and our lives are great. My little bro just bought 20 acres of land and will be building his first house eventually... I'm so proud of him.
What!? You mean you didn't CHOOSE to keep doing drugs and actually CHANGED your life through being taken care of and persevering?!? What!? How does that work!!!??? It's almost like he's right when he says "Dead people don't recover!" Maybe harm reduction is on to something!!???? /s All jokes aside that's fucking awesome man. All the best to you and family.
This a modern hero. Everybody thinks online activism gonna change something, men like this are the people who actually change our cities and eventually country. I’ve had plans for a long time you inspiring me to stop letting them just be plans bro. God bless
This series really changed the way I view the epidemic here in San Francisco. It's easy to judge, but it's so hard to understand where someone has been.
Not true. The Harm Reduction Facility that was around this guy was brought to you by Democrats and fought vehemently by Republicans. The More you know...the less likely you say something meaningless and wrongheaded.
They do care just not about us. They all take billions in bribes from corporations who profit from keeping some drugs illegal. They're *private* servants
Nah this isn't a "both sides" issue, republicans have been very open about how much they hate drug users and how they intend to end every program meant to help keep users alive.
@@alexrogers777 If this isn't a both sides issue then how come the epicenter of this is in a long controlled democratic state and democratic city. Not to mention many programs have ended democratic control like many safe injection sites... Don't get me wrong I think Republicans are worse handling this than Democrats but you are straight up lying to yourself if you think Democratic politicians care at all. This is happening around all over America. Can't believe people will watch a video like this then say "nah, republican only issue" while it's literally happening in California and every State. Stop being blinded by party lines.
Very proud of this group thank you to their hard hard work, as a city native, THANK YOU ALL WHO DONATED TO THE GOFUNDME!!!!!!!!!!!! Their goal was $50k and so far people have donated twice that.
Narcan saved my cousin multiple times while he was addicted to pills. He got clean almost 2 years ago after his dad died. It was like he woke up and started taking more responsibility for his life. Now we live and work together, it's a blessing that he's alive and well today.
Lord Jesus help and bless this man. He is strong. He is a hero. Lord help the users also. We all need Jesus. HE is the ONLY way! I feel his pain. I've lost too many people too.
It would be awesome if other sick people could get medicines delivered for free! Imagine if people with diabetes or multiple sclerosis patients get treatment delivered for free. Why are these supplies only available to people with a substance use disorder? All sick people need help like this.
Respect for the work you do and being able to talk so open about it and letting these feelings out infront of a camera. You a hero, Antonio ❤ Channel 5 you guys too but man this one had me 🫡 Greetings from 🇪🇺🇩🇪
About half the instagram comments responding to the clips from this series demonstrate just that. So much work to be done building compassion in this country. Really happy Andrew made this series. Really hope people actually watch these all the way through.
It’s hard to disagree with Antonio. I had a friend in Philly OD and he’d still be around today if someone like Antonio was there for him. But instead everyone around him felt like he deserved to die cause he’s a druggie. It’s fucked up cause now he’s gone and it’s like no one cared ab him. Idk what my point was but it’s just nice to see people like Antonio just so there’s at least hope for someone getting better
Fuck yeah. e: I thought about it for awhile after I watched this. This guys real. Cant be that way without suffering. To transform that into something so real, so integrated, and to do it through so much pain is unreal. Fuck yeah again.
Honestly this dude reminds me of the story of the good Samaritan in the Bible. While all these so- called "Christians" are out there walking past these people dying on the streets this guy is literally saving their lives.
Respect to this man he’s been thru a lot and still is thinking of other people.
Huge way to spell through, fuck me go get narcan
Right? Lmao
man he has all of my respect, king shit bro

Nice job bro keep it up
Awesome to hear. Beautiful to hear you and your bro are doing better. Sick profile pic too, I’m a masked rider fan myself
all ups to Antonio
"Ain't nobody better than anybody" hits my heart so hard (个_个)
We’re all trying our best whether we realize it or not. We need to have some compassion for other life’s to short to stay bitter.
Ephesians 4:2
God does a great work through this young man.
Can't imagine the pain this man must have been going through. And he's still dedicated to helping strangers, what a wonderful human being.
‘It’s that easy, how human we all are. Ain’t nobody better than nobody man’.
I just want to give homie a hug man:/
I cried so hard at this blokes story, mans a legend.
Antonio, you are a real one, keep persevering and spread your story and mission so that others may follow in your footsteps.
Thank You Antonio
He’s a real hero
Real ass shit. A savior

A tragic endeavor, but a valiant effort nonetheless. Continue doing a great job.
Every real conversation with this guy would feel like a blockbuster film moment
Much respect to this young man right here 🙏

A very humble man

that hit hard, the introspection is clutch, what an inspiration, Legend
Real hero. Just know the politicians on both sides don't give a fuck about what's going on.
Not true. The Harm Reduction Facility that was around this guy was brought to you by Democrats and fought vehemently by Republicans. The More you know...the less likely you say something meaningless and wrongheaded.
The lefties opened up harm reduction centers.. its not a both sides, one side sorta cares.. the other side doesnt give a singular shit
They do care just not about us. They all take billions in bribes from corporations who profit from keeping some drugs illegal. They're *private* servants
Nah this isn't a "both sides" issue, republicans have been very open about how much they hate drug users and how they intend to end every program meant to help keep users alive.

Love seeing people who really care about what they do
Bless this brother 🙏🏻
What a God-like human being. Imagine how many lives he’s saved.
Life ROUGH = Don't Give Up. You are the BEST.

Lord help the users also.
We all need Jesus. HE is the ONLY way!

Good Hearts - Thank You
Some of the realest words on TH-cam right here man. Stay blessed Antonio.
God bless! Stay strong bro
Incredible man. So glad you were able to get this interview. Shit is powerful.
Thank you.
Preach brother. 4 years clean over here and that reminded me how much I never want to feel like I did when I was using. Thanks for sharing king.
This guy is a hero, could have easily became another statistic but instead chose to help others going through the same problems he overcame.
This guy is a true hero.
Keep going bro!!! Please keep going. The people need you. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO
GOD BLESS THIS MAN
Respect and love, bro
Amen brother 🙏
Metal. Unstoppable.
This guy's an angel if he is legit. You can tell he's had some loved ones lose their humanity.
I cried like a bitch listening to this
shoutout to this dude
What an incredible man. I hope he can find peace with his troubles, rooting for you dude
That's a real hero
RESPECTS TO THAT MAN 🙏
It would be awesome if other sick people could get medicines delivered for free! Imagine if people with diabetes or multiple sclerosis patients get treatment delivered for free. Why are these supplies only available to people with a substance use disorder? All sick people need help like this.
You just know that this man has a pure heart.
Respect for the work you do and being able to talk so open about it and letting these feelings out infront of a camera. You a hero, Antonio ❤
Channel 5 you guys too but man this one had me 🫡
Greetings from 🇪🇺🇩🇪

People that dont know the struggle can be heartless.

legend
Damn, Word to this guy !
Sending love for the tears man
It’s hard to disagree with Antonio. I had a friend in Philly OD and he’d still be around today if someone like Antonio was there for him.

Buddy has a heart of gold, this is a real man.
This is the stuff that gives me hope. Good stuff Andrew.
Fuck yeah.

He's a real hero. He's an inspiration.
That got real real quick
Salute our troops
Nice to see channel 5 push for humanity and instead degrading addicts
Getting out of prison and going home to a trap house. There but for the grace of god go I.
BLESS THIS HOMIE
what he does is absolutely heroism in my eyes
My heart breaks for this man.
Hero.
What an incredible human being. Holy shit.
Good on you
Fortune
I want to like this twice
A dead person can’t recover.
The problem is governments and politicians don't care if they recover or not.
antonio is an actual hero
Dude has wings.
Fuck yeah Antonio. You rule.
Mad respects
What a Legend!!!!
Massive respect to you Antonio, I hope one day your cause will be unnecessary.
i fucking love this man
powerful.
Dude's a fuckin hero
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Honestly this dude reminds me of the story of the good Samaritan in the Bible. While all these so- called "Christians" are out there walking past these people dying on the streets this guy is literally saving their lives.
This guy IS a Christian.
You just judge while doing nothing for humanity either way.
100% This man is the real embodiment of Jesus and Christian values. That religion's been butchered and exploited to no end in this country.
facts.
🙏
Hero. All those bippers ought to be ashamed.
Mad deep
He's been through some serious shit
