    ...I don't know what to say. Really sad. I was looking for learning the English language and found this video... Please, how is Mr. Carmen doing now? I hope he is well and better. Thank you, our honorable lady, for helping people. May God protect you. I would like to send something simple to Mr. Carmen, and I am sorry, but I do not know how to send it to him. In my country, PayPal does not work yet. thanks you again..you angel

    This is sad , I’ve worked with the homeless. Addicts, harm reduction since 2004. I’ve worked with street kids age 16-30 yrs old . This is sad, I’m also from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦but live in Toronto Canada. Toronto is getting bad as out west now . DRUGS, HOMELESSNESS IS FROM WEST COAST TO EAST COAST!! Canada 🇨🇦 is getting bad as America 🇺🇸 . THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO DO MORE!! And close the boarders on drugs !!!!!

    How come BC housing outreach isn't helping him find a home?

      That's a good question. I'll try to find out. I realize Vancouver is short on affordable rental units, but still, there needs to be something available. Thanks for your comment 🙂

    Is it possible for him to go back home to family?
    Does he have a disability pension?

      Good questions. I'm not sure but will ask him these things next time I see him. Many people in this area receive some government assistance.
      Thanks for your comment.🙂

      I was wondering that too

      As far as I understand, his structural issues are a result of skeletal demineralization due to fentanyl and/or meth use. I've seen others on the dtes in similar structural condition. Apparently methadone can cause it as well, and now with trank out there it can get worse yet.
      I've heard that demineralization will happen to all fent users eventually
      Thanks for your comment, and for watching🙂

      ​@@voicesofthedowntowneastside Is that reversible if they can get off the drugs?

      @@heart_towards_home Skeletal demineralization decreases bone density, and bone density stops repairing itself after the age of 21. Short answer: no, it's permanent.
