This is the story of one San Francisco man using 'compassion' rather than 'criticism,' 'caring' instead of 'neglect' for those too addicted to care for themselves.

"How's the shelter for you?""I've been working with him quite some time. I got him into a shelter but pretty soon he's going to be transitioning from the shelter to a program," said J.J."Well, some of them came here during the pandemic because they knew it was free access to drugs here and San Francisco gives out a lot of assistance," he added.Then there are those like 19-year-old Noah who have been lost to fentanyl for awhile.

He posted the time he sat Noah down to clean his face while he's nodding off."Oh my God, yes Noah. Noah is kind of special to me cause I've been working with Noah for so long. No kid that is 19 years old should be hooked on drugs as much as he is," he explains."So your approach is man-to-man approach here. Is that practical? Can I do it? Can other people do it? Could the supervisor for this district and his staff do it? Yes they can do it. It's easy.
