The F*@king Reality of Fentanyl

I make no apologies for my language.

 

Today we met Richard an addict who is living on the streets of Albuquerque.

He was in a place where it's unusual to find the homeless and addicts. We chatted a long while and in his moments of clarity, if there is such a thing when taking fentanyl idk, he told me he's 51 and has a wife somewhere and ihe is totally aware he's an addict but so very much wants help. We also talked about tattoos but that's a whole other story :)

 

He has gotten help previously but today he lapsed. He wanted me to take a photo for all to see the effects of this fecking awful drug called fentonyl. We made sure he had food and gave him lots of water and got Richard the help we could in this moment.

 

The reality of his situation is unthinkable and perhaps inevitable.

 

I have thought long and hard before posting this but decided anyone who sees this to please, please, please do what you can to help a lost soul.
