I came to say that. I feel bad, but I’ve refused to give money to some who I know for sure are spending it on drugs, but they ask for 10/20 bucks! Bit cheeky. But I don’t mind buying my favourite a beer, kind of hypocritical I guess. 🤔 I shall ponder.
It really is hard not to judge. To be honest my first thought seeing this guy was drug addict. The thing is though, even if that is true that doesn't negate the fact that he deserves help.
Yes, the guy is chewimg his face off. As a recovering addict tho that's when i needed help the most. He's trying to kill a pain. Thank you, Knate for giving everyone a non-judgmental chance.
Thank you for this kind and compassionate take. Judgemental people usually have no idea what they would do or how they would cope with being in dire circumstances. I was able to quit drinking 29 years ago because a little boys parents were alcoholic drug addicts. He's been my son ever since. But I was fortunate because not everyone can do that. The only reason I was able to do that was because that baby needed one person in his life to take care of him and somehow I was chosen.
Being pregnant and doing drugs is very serious...not judgemental. You have to be straight to be able to make it. Nate will probably talk to them privately. Hes good at that.
As a recovering addict myself, I would say that they need rehab first. They don't have a chance in hell at keeping it together unless they tackle that first and continue with a psychiatrist and counselor.
Yeah, because they can really afford a psychiatrist and a counselor? I'm a recovering addict myself and I would agree with the first part. They need to get clean before they even have a little chance. But I think Nate just wants to help them to get by for a day or two. Not being a counselor is one of them. I hope you keep going and that you always will have the drive and motivation to stay clean. 😃🙏🏼
Rehab is their choice not yours. You should know that and their personal issues should not be a reason not to help. They are human they deserve help regardless. BTW I'm a recovering heroin addict of 25 yrs, its never someone else's place to say when they should go they have to be ready and have the will to stop.
@@road66runner3Actually, it is someone else's place to say when they need help if they are bringing an innocent child into this world. That child needs an advocate. It's a completely different situation when it's just them. The child didn't choose to be born to drug addicted parents. Gynecological care and birth control are available for free in every State in the US. It's a shame people don't have the foresight to use it. I hope they get the help they so desperately need.
I would agree with you that 90% of people with addiction need rehab. It’s a small 10% of people like myself who can quit on their own, but it is very rare.
Unfortunately they both have to want and be ready to become clean and enter and complete a FULL rehabilitation. If they both are not ready and want to become clean and enter a rehab then follow through with after care, state will help them with pyschiatrist and counselor they won't make it. Unfortunately if only 1 of them wanted and did the full process it would be a struggle for the one to not relapse. But in rehab they teach people you can't succeed if your partner isn't going to get clean as well. Some people actually have succeed as they have to watch their partner continue to spiral down.
I've heard from people who have recovered and been sober for a while that support is the biggest help. Not enabling or endorsement but just being there.
Goodness i pray they get the help they need to get clean and sober. I celebrated 31 years clean Oct 5, 2023. I've never once relapsed. I fought hard to get my life back and refuse to let anything take that away from me
Huge congratulations!! I've been lucky and haven't been touched by addiction (nobody close to me either) so I o can only imagine how extremely difficult it is to do what you did. That's a huge accomplishment!! ❤
Does their illness change the basic need for love, a warm place to sleep and for someone to offer them a hand up? Yes, it's obvious they're high. Knate sets healthy boundaries with the help he offers, but he does it in such a loving way. If they choose not to accept the help, Knate moves on.

This is truly sad. I pray for both to recover and get back on their feet. Ive been in a similar situation. God bless. Just remember recovery is possible but you truly gotta want it
This is so true. I had a nephew who was addicted to meth and he had so many opportunities to clean up and lots of family support but no matter what my brother did to help him he chose the drugs every time. Unfortunately he lost. He got out a 3 week incarceration from the county jail and by noon he overdosed. Very sad he was only 26. Heart breaking.
Yall please just be kind. We dont know their lives. Taking drugs doesnt make them bad people. And people dont start taking drugs when theyre in a good place. And they dont often stop when things get worse. Everyone deserves respect and compassion. Dont forget they are real people with real problems. All we can do is hope they accept knate's help and hope they help themselves.

Me and my gf watch your videos all the time, this past 6 mounths have been really tough for us, and we have realized that help is really hard to ask for, this last mounth we have decided to help the unfortunate around our small town in alberta canada, we emptied our pantry of everything we wont eat or will fo bad before we would donating it to people on facebook in need, and have been bringing our leftovers from dinner and handing them out to the homless downtown, it truly warms my heart and makes me want to do more but theres only so much one can do when there not doing so well themselfs
You're awesome, this is such a huge help with getting people back on their feet! My fam and i were blindsided when we found out the home we rented was up for auction (1wk from when we found out) bc the landlord wasn't paying HIS bills. That sent us into a hotel,all our stuff went in a storage unit.....i thoght we would find a place within a wk but the hotel drained our $, and we ended up in there for a couple YEARS. My hubby worked every day to ensure we stayed but we lost EVERYTHING in the storage. Just couldn't pay . It was devastating. We FINALLY found a house to rent and have been here for 1 year & 4 months. Still trying to get things like furniture, lights etc. but we have the basics. Then hubby got sick in December & was hospitalized so we no are struggling with rent. 1 month behind but trying to catch up! So many ppl are struggling now 😓

Why the fuck aren’t these vids clocking over a million views. Thanks so much man for making these videos. It makes me feel that I should start doing the same. Thanks for being the motivation for many people around the world. God bless you ♥️
A lot of these young people were foster kids who aged out of the system. They grew up completely vulnerable and often end up with trauma or substance abuse. Thank you for your tender kindness, Knate. Thank you for seeing everyone’s humanity. 🙏
You take so much responsibility to help others get their life back. I hope with all the stress of that you look after yourself well too knate because if you aren't your best you can never give it! With great power comes great responsibility and you are aware of the immense power anyone can have to try help somebody in a worse position out. I hope the weight of that responsibility is accompanied by pride in yourself and all you have achieved in helping others achieve.
Hey guys…we dont need to point out drug addictions every time we see them like we’re special ed 3rd graders seeing a Semi on the field trip. Hes trying to turn his life around by getting a job, a home and a family so why only point out the negatives?
I hope they get themselves sorted out especially for the unborn baby's sake 😢..Nobody knows people's story so you should never judge ..i wish them well ..❤❤
Hope they get all the help they need, recovering addict here with 15 yrs clean. Not always easy but definitely always worth it. You had to know your worth being clean for. I pray they find soberiry, jobs, home then baby. Dude what you do got ppl is so amazing. Keep on keeping on
😇 “I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.”❤️🔑🛐 Acts 20:35 KJV
@dz.7246 Exactly!! They are deciding their own fate and NOW bringing an innocent baby into their lifestyle that absolutely will be born addicted to drugs. The excuses people make for drug addicts is disgusting!
So because they have drug addictions they don't deserve to be treated with love? Knate didn't enable them. He didn't give them money. He purposely went out of his way to help them with food and a room. So now what drug addicts don't deserve food or a warm bed to sleep in? It's a shame so much hate can be found here. God forbid you had to walk a mile in their shoes though....
But what could they possibly be faking? That they need a place to stay? That they're hungry? What benefit would they get from lying? They were obviously needing help. And I'm of the mindset that if you wanna help someone, if you want to give them somethkng, buy them someting, feed them, or give them money, it doesn't matter what they use it for. I mean, even of they trade that good for drugs, that's what they ndecided they "needed". I mean, what good is it for someone to pay my phone bill when it's already paid? If my electricity needs paid, and someone wants to help but they say, "Oh I wanna help but I'm only gonna pay your phone bill - not your electricity bill."... Then what good does that do me? But hey, maybe you don't understand addiction. There was a time when I didn't understand it either. I thought it could NEVER happen to me! 25 years old, great career, 3 bdrm house with 4 acres, vehicles, 3 kids and a Husband... Took some prescription medicine - that I had taken 7 times previouslyin my life... next thing I knew, I was buying "refills" from a friend... Then, when they ran out, I resorted to buying stronger stuff from my cousin (because that's all I could find). Then that dried up and I had to find something just so I could function... So again, I resorted to buying even STRONGER stuff from someone because that's all that I could find. I wasn't even looking for stronger stuff. I just couldn't find the "light" stuff anymore. And as I said, I had to have something. When I finally realized I had to quit, I spent 37 days puking, shaking, pooping my pants, feeling like I was going to JUMP out of my own skin. Ig was impossible to breathe, walk, eat, drink... even peeing was hard to do because my entire body was so cramped up. And the worst part was the full body Restlessness. Have you ever had restless leg syndrome? Where your legs jerk a little just when you're about to fall asleep? Well imagine that, multiply it times 45 Billion, its all over your body, you can't hold your arms, legs, fingers, face, chest, stomach, back, or anything else still. Amd the harder you try, the worse it gets. There is no sleep. There is no comfort. You do not get even a BLINK of respite from this for weeks! If you sleep, then it must be mini- micro sleeps because you don't know it You're so exhausted but you cannot rest. You cannot pick your head up, but you cannot stop wiggling, jerking, moving... The physical withdrawals are relentless. And that's just the ohysical part. If you had the worst flu of your life (which cannot be compared to withdrawals, I don't care what they say), and someone offered you a pill that would make it all go away within 15 seconds, would you take it? Of course you would! Now imagine how miserable withdrawals are. And remember there is a pill that will IMMEDIATELY stop that physical misery and pain. It will not only stop the misrty but it will give you rest, energy, happiness, and euphoria!!! Many times I chose drugs over food. Because if I had to choose between losing a couple of pounds versus losing 30lbs, 4 + weeks of no sleep and misery, I would choose to go without food every time. Don't forget, that "easy Button" (the magic fix - it - all pill) will take away the hunger, too. And if I have absolutely zero to live for anymore, why does it matter? After all, I'm not hurting anyone but myself. So.... why would it matter if you wanted to help them? If you give them $20, they may go buy drugs... But that may be the last day they ever live anyway. So why not? What would it hurt? Who are you to decide what someone else thinks they need when they ask for help? Don't forget, it's a myth that only alcohol and benzoyl withdrawals can kill you. Any withdrawal can kill you. Any of them.
@inthelandofmorethansmall7582 thank you for having a soul and caring about people, even at their worst. I'm glad you made it through to the other side. I have a similar story to yours except mine kept going and has been for the better part of 2 decades. I've spent years in motels, thankfully I'm housed for the moment because someone looked past my background/under employment/evictions and let me rent a house. Hopefully some day I too can say I've made it to the other side. I just wanted you to know that your kindness brings a smile to my face, your description is spot on and most of all, IM SO PROUD OF YOU
@@misssmeee Wow! 🤯🤯🤯 First of all, I can't believe anyone read all that! 😆 🤣 😂 (I didn't mean to write so much, ya know but it's really hard to "sum up" the reality of addiction in just a few paragraphs.) Second, thank you! Third, I'm so sorry you're struggling like you are! When I choose to help someone it's because I trust them to know what they "need" alot better than I do. I mean, it's a sad reality that you can't just go put and tell people, "Hey can I please have $20? I need to prevent withdrawals so I can get up tomorrow and try to make it through the day".
@@misssmeee Because people will only give you what THEY want to help you with. But that's not helping at all. That's just making themselves feel superior. 4th) People just don't understand addicts. They think it's "just lazy" or "just selfish" pr "about trying to get high". 🙄 They don't realize it's a disease. "BuT iTs nOt a DiSeAsE! CuZ iT sTaRtEd wItH A cHoIcE!" You mean... like EVERY OTHER DISEASE ON THIS PLANET??? 😆 (Okay well not EVERY one but with 90% of them...) **** Idk if you looked at my profile pic or not but I'm an RN. ER nurse actually. And I try my best to educate my fellow medical providers about Addiction. ****** I'm so sorry you're still struggling. I'll be honest... for me it was just that I got sick of it, ya know? It's like a switch was turned off on my brain and I just no longer wanted to touch the stuff. (Almost every day... lol! I do have my moments though.)
@@misssmeee Now there are days when I think I could run over to the dealers house, grab a couple bags, and come back home. Just ONE MORE TIME. Ever since I got clean and sober, my life has gone downhill. My kids were happy until I went to rehab. My husband wanted sex until I got clean. My life was so much easier when I was using. But I know the stuff I get will be so stomped on, that I'll just puke. I know that the C will be jacked with M. I know the crash will be miserable. Then I'll want the H. And around here I haven't seen real H since 2010. It's all Fenny now. And I had an experience where I woke up in an ambulance. So I don't wanna do that again. Because with my luck it would just prove my kids right. It would prove their Dad right. And then they wouldn't even have a positive memory of me. (I mean, there are BILLIONS of positive memories but their Dad a dad stepmom brainwashed those out of them.)
Scripture: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33 KJV Prayer: Our Lord God, the magnificent God of all creation.

Thank You, Lord. In the name of JESUS, Amen and Amen. Scriptures: "¹²Who can understand his errors? Cleanse thou me from secret faults. ¹³Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. ¹⁴Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."

Hey, that temp/ daily gig is seriously fr when in that situation. If you want to come up you can definitely utilize it as that first stepping stone. It worked for me.
It’s really sweet how even being homeless and on the streets people still are able to find love it’s sad their in that situation and I hope bro gets on his feet with his girl
@@APolishPlayer We are all deserving. Being, “high as a kite” doesn’t define your worth. Perspective is a wonderful gift. I hope you never go through something so difficult it pushes you to the precipice. Be safe, and best of luck.
Not trying to justify anykind of hateful comments but I think when you have been subjected to an addict's manipulation and schemes you tend to be a little hesitant on their situation. I do have compassion but at the same time you don't want to be a victim of being taken advantage of especially when they are looking for an opportunity to steal from you and I am mainly talking about family or close friends who are addicts and use your kindness to feed their addictions.
So glad you're doing everything for everyone and doing it in a healthy non-enabling way! They needed this. Someone who cares without judgement! "Chicken nuggets!" So sweet 😂❤
Thank you for your compassion and helping these people. I pray he gets a good job and can keep it and that they will have a safe comfortable place to live off of the streets. Also that hood help will be available to them and they will take it.
They say the best currency in life is how you make others feel. You're a great man knate as when society fails these people you make them human again, treat everyone like family and share some much needed love. God bless ❤
I grew up with a father like this! He was an addict, my mum left before I could walk! I am 40 and still healing, I pray for those children, I hope they find help and peace 😢
He's giving them food and a shelter, most serious addicts would choose drugs over that anyway, so it's not like he's helping them get more drugs. I'm the opposite of religious, but I do believe that even a small impact on someone can have significant knock on effects. Let us hope they both get clean, for the sake of their baby.
He literally said IF you get a job he will continue to help him out. He just needs to see the light in a world full of dark people like yourself. Some people make it some don’t. Nate is just doing his part.
Glad you ran into Toby and were able to help out. We need housing first policies in this country to help people who are homeless. For those struggling with addiction, expecting them to “get clean first” is insane. How likely is it that someone will be successful with sobriety when they don’t have a secure and stable place to live. Thank you Knate for offering help to everyone you come across without judgment. 💛
Bro still helps and still offers help as long as you help yourself. Much love brother EVERYONE NEEDS LOVE AND NEEDS TO KNOW THEY ARE HERE FOR A REASON.!
He is an addict. As a once homeless recovering addict with 28mths clean, I see the signs and symptoms!! I wish him all the best!!! You gotta reach out for that help when its there, and when youre ready to get Clean...
The fact that he gives everyone a chance to start new...and without any judgment is just amazing
I came to say that.
I feel bad, but I’ve refused to give money to some who I know for sure are spending it on drugs, but they ask for 10/20 bucks!
Bit cheeky.
But I don’t mind buying my favourite a beer, kind of hypocritical I guess.

Rehab would be the best start. Just to be honest. ❤
Knate's out there doing God's work‼️
Keep on keeping on Knate.
Love you brother 🙌🏼🙏🏻
Praying for there daughter too🥺
I mean you can clearly tell his ass is on drugs
Sure can and that's how they want to be, right?
That’s matters less to me than the fact she’s pregnant with lesions all over her face
@@chickendinner98That's exactly what I was thinking!! 😢
Does their illness change the basic need for love, a warm place to sleep and for someone to offer them a hand up? Yes, it's obvious they're high. Knate sets healthy boundaries with the help he offers, but he does it in such a loving way.
@@jphanks Not it doesn't, but that lady should not be pregnant in her current state. Poor kids man.
He reminds me of my own husband/best friend/kids Dad. We were just like these too. God bless his soul & those 3 beautiful people
Why the fuck aren’t these vids clocking over a million views.
Thanks so much man for making these videos. It makes me feel that I should start doing the same. Thanks for being the motivation for many people around the world. God bless you ♥️
A lot of these young people were foster kids who aged out of the system. They grew up completely vulnerable and often end up with trauma or substance abuse. Thank you for your tender kindness, Knate. Thank you for seeing everyone’s humanity. 🙏
You take so much responsibility to help others get their life back. I hope with all the stress of that you look after yourself well too knate because if you aren't your best you can never give it! With great power comes great responsibility and you are aware of the immense power anyone can have to try help somebody in a worse position out. I hope the weight of that responsibility is accompanied by pride in yourself and all you have achieved in helping others achieve.
I love and admire what you do man, and I hope one day I may also be able to help the less fortunate, our society needs the morale boost.
So sad. I pray Jesus will remove their addictions and the baby stays safe. They seem like nice people.
❤❤❤ I totally agree God is the key I love how Knate knows what to do in each situation. Praise God he truly is what love thy brother is.😊😊😊😊😊
Your Skyfriend let them live like this
@@ROOKTABULA We all have the freedom to choose, sometimes we choose unwisely not thinking of the repercussions of our actions.
Hey guys…we dont need to point out drug addictions every time we see them like we’re special ed 3rd graders seeing a Semi on the field trip. Hes trying to turn his life around by getting a job, a home and a family so why only point out the negatives?
I highly doubt he has an interview. Would you hire him looking like that? How did he apply?
@@derekgardin1512 yes i would, looks do not matter as long as you’ll do what’s needed
I hope they get themselves sorted out especially for the unborn baby's sake 😢..Nobody knows people's story so you should never judge ..i wish them well ..❤❤
God blesses those who bless others 😇🙏🏻 Amen ✝️
Hope they get all the help they need, recovering addict here with 15 yrs clean. Not always easy but definitely always worth it. You had to know your worth being clean for. I pray they find soberiry, jobs, home then baby. Dude what you do got ppl is so amazing. Keep on keeping on
😇
“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.”❤️🔑🛐

Bless is the man the have compassion for others, he will always be in God prayers. 🙏♥️
God Loves Everybody. That’s what I read. From all the good Preachers. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Funny that not everyone who loves a god loves everyone though. They’re some of the most judgemental, least charitable assholes going.
I love how you are kind to everyone.
That hug was dangerous 😂
🙂↕️🧫🦠🫣😬😷😷😷😷💉💊
😂
We all deserve our basic needs met. May the love abound on earth for every being. ❤&✌️
Get a job like the rest of us. I rely on me to meet my families needs.
@dz.7246 Exactly!! They are deciding their own fate and NOW bringing an innocent baby into their lifestyle that absolutely will be born addicted to drugs. The excuses people make for drug addicts is disgusting!
@@thediamondcutterz2430 not excuses it's reality. No one is immune. ask Bi den. Jr.
@@lost_ducks he might drop a dime if I asked... 🤔
I can't imagine the hug Lord Jesus Christ is going to give you one day young man Mr Nate your walking the walk✝️❤️
Thank you so much for not judging them. They just needed food. ❤
Chickie nuggies caught me off guard 😂❤ love this guy!! Prayers for him
For real, bro, same!!❤
Dude is high as fuck
Bro was tweaking for sure
Yea its okay. The street is hard af.
Oh by all means I don’t have judgment in my body my mother is a twack too
Yea he and is Mrs. The scabs on the face and mannerisms. High as hell. Nate needs to watch the fine line of not enabling. Hotel room great but...
So because they have drug addictions they don't deserve to be treated with love? Knate didn't enable them. He didn't give them money. He purposely went out of his way to help them with food and a room. So now what drug addicts don't deserve food or a warm bed to sleep in? It's a shame so much hate can be found here. God forbid you had to walk a mile in their shoes though....
That man looks like every FIRE line cook I’ve ever met 😂 give that man a job in the back of the restaurant, he’ll fit right in ❤❤
What is a FIRE? 🤔
@@spongemonkeysoozFire is slang for really great.
He will fit in as long as he don't show up high on meth 😂 weed is fine but showing up twacked out working with heat and knives is not good
I love how you help alongside them helping themselves.❤
You're doing a great job as usual Knate. I just don't think this one is ready to change (from what I saw).
I hate so much that you never know whose faking. I hope they get to a good place.
But what could they possibly be faking?
That they need a place to stay? That they're hungry? What benefit would they get from lying?
They were obviously needing help.
And I'm of the mindset that if you wanna help someone, if you want to give them somethkng, buy them someting, feed them, or give them money, it doesn't matter what they use it for.
I mean, even of they trade that good for drugs, that's what they ndecided they "needed".
I mean, what good is it for someone to pay my phone bill when it's already paid? If my electricity needs paid, and someone wants to help but they say, "Oh I wanna help but I'm only gonna pay your phone bill - not your electricity bill."...
Then what good does that do me?
But hey, maybe you don't understand addiction. There was a time when I didn't understand it either. I thought it could NEVER happen to me!
25 years old, great career, 3 bdrm house with 4 acres, vehicles, 3 kids and a Husband... Took some prescription medicine - that I had taken 7 times previouslyin my life... next thing I knew, I was buying "refills" from a friend...
Then, when they ran out, I resorted to buying stronger stuff from my cousin (because that's all I could find).
Then that dried up and I had to find something just so I could function...
So again, I resorted to buying even STRONGER stuff from someone because that's all that I could find.
I wasn't even looking for stronger stuff. I just couldn't find the "light" stuff anymore. And as I said, I had to have something.
When I finally realized I had to quit, I spent 37 days puking, shaking, pooping my pants, feeling like I was going to JUMP out of my own skin.
Ig was impossible to breathe, walk, eat, drink... even peeing was hard to do because my entire body was so cramped up.
And the worst part was the full body Restlessness.
Have you ever had restless leg syndrome? Where your legs jerk a little just when you're about to fall asleep?
Well imagine that, multiply it times 45 Billion, its all over your body, you can't hold your arms, legs, fingers, face, chest, stomach, back, or anything else still. Amd the harder you try, the worse it gets.
There is no sleep.
There is no comfort.
You do not get even a BLINK of respite from this for weeks!
If you sleep, then it must be mini- micro sleeps because you don't know it
You're so exhausted but you cannot rest.
You cannot pick your head up, but you cannot stop wiggling, jerking, moving...
The physical withdrawals are relentless.
And that's just the ohysical part.
If you had the worst flu of your life (which cannot be compared to withdrawals, I don't care what they say), and someone offered you a pill that would make it all go away within 15 seconds, would you take it?
Of course you would!
Now imagine how miserable withdrawals are. And remember there is a pill that will IMMEDIATELY stop that physical misery and pain. It will not only stop the misrty but it will give you rest, energy, happiness, and euphoria!!!
Many times I chose drugs over food.
Because if I had to choose between losing a couple of pounds versus losing 30lbs, 4 + weeks of no sleep and misery, I would choose to go without food every time.
Don't forget, that "easy Button" (the magic fix - it - all pill) will take away the hunger, too.
And if I have absolutely zero to live for anymore, why does it matter? After all, I'm not hurting anyone but myself.
So.... why would it matter if you wanted to help them? If you give them $20, they may go buy drugs...
But that may be the last day they ever live anyway. So why not? What would it hurt?
Who are you to decide what someone else thinks they need when they ask for help?
Don't forget, it's a myth that only alcohol and benzoyl withdrawals can kill you.
Any withdrawal can kill you.
Any of them.
@inthelandofmorethansmall7582 thank you for having a soul and caring about people, even at their worst. I'm glad you made it through to the other side.
I have a similar story to yours except mine kept going and has been for the better part of 2 decades. I've spent years in motels, thankfully I'm housed for the moment because someone looked past my background/under employment/evictions and let me rent a house. Hopefully some day I too can say I've made it to the other side.
I just wanted you to know that your kindness brings a smile to my face, your description is spot on and most of all, IM SO PROUD OF YOU
@@misssmeee Wow! 🤯🤯🤯
First of all, I can't believe anyone read all that! 😆 🤣 😂
(I didn't mean to write so much, ya know but it's really hard to "sum up" the reality of addiction in just a few paragraphs.)
Second, thank you!
Third, I'm so sorry you're struggling like you are! When I choose to help someone it's because I trust them to know what they "need" alot better than I do.
I mean, it's a sad reality that you can't just go put and tell people, "Hey can I please have $20? I need to prevent withdrawals so I can get up tomorrow and try to make it through the day".
@@misssmeee
Because people will only give you what THEY want to help you with. But that's not helping at all.
That's just making themselves feel superior.
4th) People just don't understand addicts. They think it's "just lazy" or "just selfish" pr "about trying to get high". 🙄
They don't realize it's a disease.
"BuT iTs nOt a DiSeAsE! CuZ iT sTaRtEd wItH A cHoIcE!"
You mean... like EVERY OTHER DISEASE ON THIS PLANET??? 😆
(Okay well not EVERY one but with 90% of them...)
****
Idk if you looked at my profile pic or not but I'm an RN. ER nurse actually. And I try my best to educate my fellow medical providers about Addiction.
******
I'm so sorry you're still struggling. I'll be honest... for me it was just that I got sick of it, ya know?
It's like a switch was turned off on my brain and I just no longer wanted to touch the stuff. (Almost every day... lol!
I do have my moments though.)
@@misssmeee
Now there are days when I think I could run over to the dealers house, grab a couple bags, and come back home.
Just ONE MORE TIME.
Ever since I got clean and sober, my life has gone downhill. My kids were happy until I went to rehab. My husband wanted sex until I got clean. My life was so much easier when I was using.
But I know the stuff I get will be so stomped on, that I'll just puke.
I know that the C will be jacked with M.
I know the crash will be miserable.
Then I'll want the H. And around here I haven't seen real H since 2010. It's all Fenny now.
And I had an experience where I woke up in an ambulance. So I don't wanna do that again. Because with my luck it would just prove my kids right. It would prove their Dad right.
And then they wouldn't even have a positive memory of me. (I mean, there are BILLIONS of positive memories but their Dad a dad stepmom brainwashed those out of them.)
This man is something else... 🔥💯
God bless you Knate
Look how happy he is, he just cannot stop dancing.
Scripture:
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33 KJV
Prayer:
Our Lord God, the magnificent God of all creation. Adonai, remember me in my afflictions. I call upon You. Answer me speedily. I need You now. I seek Your protection. Hear my humble cry. I need Your guidance. Grant me the desires of my heart. Thank You, Lord. In the name of JESUS, Amen and Amen.
Scriptures:
"¹²Who can understand his errors? Cleanse thou me from secret faults. ¹³Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. ¹⁴Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer." Psalms 19:12-14 KJV
Dang. She's pregnant. Hopefully family services will step in.
She should be able to get WIC and SNAP benefits at least. Housing will be harder.
@@jphanksthe baby will be taken if she’s on drugs so she won’t need any of those
Blessings to you, Knate, and your supporters!!
I pray he gets a job 🙏 thank you for helping him god bless you.
Hey, that temp/ daily gig is seriously fr when in that situation.
If you want to come up you can definitely utilize it as that first stepping stone.
It worked for me.
If she is actually pregnant that is very alarming.
I got “sick”. I hope he gets “better”. Good luck!
It’s really sweet how even being homeless and on the streets people still are able to find love it’s sad their in that situation and I hope bro gets on his feet with his girl
It’s a shame so much hate can find itself into the comment section of such a positive corner of the internet.
Well, the people who watch like people who are more deserving and not currently higher than a kite.
Yes , it is . This man is being a disciple of Jesus..He is doing what Jesus would do if He were here. Ù
Honesty is not hate, unless you are a liberal who supports a president who helps traffickers by opening our border.
@@APolishPlayer We are all deserving. Being, “high as a kite” doesn’t define your worth. Perspective is a wonderful gift. I hope you never go through something so difficult it pushes you to the precipice. Be safe, and best of luck.
Not trying to justify anykind of hateful comments but I think when you have been subjected to an addict's manipulation and schemes you tend to be a little hesitant on their situation. I do have compassion but at the same time you don't want to be a victim of being taken advantage of especially when they are looking for an opportunity to steal from you and I am mainly talking about family or close friends who are addicts and use your kindness to feed their addictions.
I feel bad, but that tent is getting sold for $10 😢
You don't know that anyone can change at any moment
@@liamseekins9488😂 drugs dont just let go lmfao
So sad. Prayers. Ty so much knate. Blessings too u.
You’re a good man Knate, hope the money you deserve to help people comes to you.
Are you guys working? Where exactly would he be able to work!
Some place that isn't drug testing
@@BarefootWandrer I don't think you need to give this guy a drug test to know
How about offering to pay for some kind of addiction treatment and recovery!!!
So glad you're doing everything for everyone and doing it in a healthy non-enabling way! They needed this. Someone who cares without judgement!
"Chicken nuggets!" So sweet 😂❤
Thank you for your compassion and helping these people. I pray he gets a good job and can keep it and that they will have a safe comfortable place to live off of the streets. Also that hood help will be available to them and they will take it.
I’m sorry but I hate knowing that 95% of these people are lying through their teeth to get money or anything from him. I know because I’ve been there
If they were from Mexico.. They would have a hotel room. And Money..
Ask Ron for a bus ticket
And that my friend is what our country has been reduced to! Thanks Biden, good job, NOT!
God bless you Knate, not sure I could do it, you just do it any how.
They say the best currency in life is how you make others feel.
You're a great man knate as when society fails these people you make them human again, treat everyone like family and share some much needed love.
God bless ❤
❤
Wait shes on meth and pregnant? I usually go with Knate and being no judge but for the babies sake i hope someone says something.
This guy has a huge heart he does not judge and wven gives hugs keepup the beautiful heart open ❤️
I grew up with a father like this! He was an addict, my mum left before I could walk! I am 40 and still healing, I pray for those children, I hope they find help and peace 😢
Them drug addicts arent getting no job 😂😂😂😂
He spinned the tallest most common lines a druggie says "oh im getting a job friday"
Getting a job Friday, but Friday never comes.
@@johnwoytalewicz6329 everyday is Friday to a dope fiend
You need some help find it and please don't gave juds don't need more of you in the world
quit helping drug addicts you aint really helping them at all !!!
He's giving them food and a shelter, most serious addicts would choose drugs over that anyway, so it's not like he's helping them get more drugs. I'm the opposite of religious, but I do believe that even a small impact on someone can have significant knock on effects. Let us hope they both get clean, for the sake of their baby.
Well... He bought them food, it's not like he gave them a hotel room and a bunch of cash. Fkn relax.
He literally said IF you get a job he will continue to help him out. He just needs to see the light in a world full of dark people like yourself. Some people make it some don’t. Nate is just doing his part.
Hey…. He’s planting a seed… it’s up to them what they do with the fruit….
Hey…. He’s planting a seed… it’s up to them what they do with the fruit….
Glad you ran into Toby and were able to help out. We need housing first policies in this country to help people who are homeless. For those struggling with addiction, expecting them to “get clean first” is insane. How likely is it that someone will be successful with sobriety when they don’t have a secure and stable place to live. Thank you Knate for offering help to everyone you come across without judgment. 💛
Bro still helps and still offers help as long as you help yourself. Much love brother EVERYONE NEEDS LOVE AND NEEDS TO KNOW THEY ARE HERE FOR A REASON.!
You’re an angel dude we all need to be like you 🎉
Oh God, this doesn't feel right. But Knate helps unconditionally.
Knowing Knate was in a similar position and he never stops what he does...🎉
Bless you and this couple.
Love what you do nate you should look into rehabs or detoxes I've donated before and would definitely donate to help someone have a stay at a detox
He is an addict. As a once homeless recovering addict with 28mths clean, I see the signs and symptoms!! I wish him all the best!!! You gotta reach out for that help when its there, and when youre ready to get Clean...
Ignore the bad, druggie or not, he is human and deserves the decencies we all deserve. God bless brother Knate.
😮damn, my life ain't so bad at all. Thank God.
Blessings of sobriety and safety to him and his girlfriend.🌹🙏🏽
I'm rooting for this guy. Lord protect him
God please bless these people an the man that helped them.love yall
"We just got evicted...only there a month". This is why you should never help this type. They don't give a fuck.
I'm calling you "KNATE THE GREAT". YOU HAVE HELPED SO MANY PEOPLE AND YOU NEVER EXPECT ANYTHING AND I RESPECT THAT ABILITY!
