He reminds me of my own son. One year ago today , my 33 year old son got on a Greyhound bus and never turned back to the street life or the drugs again. God Bless! He came back home.

R.I.P. My son. David Dyer. Overdosed and passed at age 30. I couldn't function for at least a year. God bless this young man. Jesus save him.

Im a recovering heroin and crack cocaine with 18 years clean and sober. This dude is an intelligent, articulate good guy. It kills me to see another addict going through this daily misery. The last 18 years have been THE BEST YEARS of my 58 years on this earth. Recovery IS possible

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

He actually looks young for his age. His eyes still have lots of light. I wish him a safe and happy life

He looks like a lost little boy. Everybody was somebody's little child sometime. People need to remember that. We are all human.❤❤

This is just pitiful 😞. This man is so sweet. This world is a very cruel place to live. This breaks my heart 😔

Im 32 lionel, you still have that light/brightness about you. Dont lose it! Get sober now while youre still young

God bless this young man. Everyone watching please say a prayer for this young man.

Brother if you see this PLEASE LEAVE Kensington and never go back. Get as far away as you possibly can. You can make that change brother.

sending positive vibes to this young man. His PTSD has to be horrible. I truly hope he gets somewhere safe really soon. Peace

This man has a warm and bright soul. I hope this is a time in his life he is able to leave, never look back, and find love, happiness and success (not monetary success but success as being okay without drugs!).

My daughter is suffering from addiction. We do recover. I had to myself and only when she's ready to surrender to THE LIGHT... is when we can recover. If I could do it for her, I would... but we cannot. I always give moments of silence for those sick and still suffering. They're is hope.

Lionel, brother, i know what youre going through! I used to be homeless in Las Vegas for years, and it was such a lonely and sad time in my life. I now have several month clean, am in a program, and have a baby girl due in 2 months. Life has so much better things to offer, and its possible to make a change. I pray that a miracle can happen for you, like it did me, and that something can pull you out of that lifestyle. Sending love and prayers your way!

He is so vulnerable and alone it really is heartbreaking 💔

He seems way too sweet to be in this situation, i hope he finds his way back....

May Lord Jesus Christ bless that man soul with Salvation

I feel so bad for Lionel poor guy it’s so bad

What a Lovely man. He deserves humane treatment, as we all do. This dehumanization of Americans needs to stop. There are plenty of means to get these poor people safe and rehabilitated. Then they can choose homes, communities. The homeless crisis and the children prove how much we need community. He needs a community first.

Peace love and compassion for everyone in the struggle

Beautiful eyes brother! Bright and kind! Please find the right path, get awsy from the street! ❤❤❤❤

This guy has still got light in his eyes, i hope he keeps that spark , holds on to it, and it takes him out of this situation. So many people cross that line that marks their standards, stay true to that no mater how hard it gets. Wish you health and better times, man.🙏

That hospital is wrong for not shaving the rest of the hair. Pray this young man finds Christ

He could be a character actor or something, charismatic and likable guy.

Lionel seems to be a genuine man, Best of luck unto you Lionel, you deserve way better than the life you are living now, I hope it gets better for you, Man!

This dudes looking Pritty clean get him in recovery!

Seems sane, and if he had a little direction he might be able to pull it together. I wish him the best & really hope he betters himself, I think he's a good person that just got lost.

This can happen to anyone. May God protect us all.

So sad to see this in “supposedly the greatest country in the world”. We are failing our citizens. These people need help. They’re someone’s child, brother, sister, father, mother, etc. We can do better America!!! This is an epidemic and the government needs to step tf up!!!!

Please get some help Lionel..we all love you❤will be praying for you buddy 😊

go home lionel and get clean with some support from your parents...they still love you and need you in their life!

My heart breaks for this young man. Please let’s keep him in our prayers

I hope this child of God gets whatever he needs to make it. I'll pray that he will get off the drugs.❤

Seems like a real nice guy wish him all the best

Oh thank gosh. I had not seen an update on Lionel on other channels in awhile. Thank gosh he is still out there. Bless him.

God bless him and the people who serve him on Mondays. He looks forward to Mondays when most of us dread Mondays. It’s so wild to me that someone can be on drugs, I’m the streets, and who they are ( deeply) is still very present… if you read this you are a good dude, in a bad life cycle. I hope you get out of danger and use that great personality to help others

When he talked about the food made me smile :) Lionel, recovery is worth it! Don't give up!

Lionel awe man get well soon get out of philly

This poor man.. he is my age and he is so sweet. I pray he gets off drugs. So sad.❤ if he read this I hope he knows how much Jesus loves him.❤

Lionel wishing you a brighter future and health and happiness we see you! Hoping your father is still alive and that you reconnect with him! All the best from Australia!

I’m so happy to see Lionel is okay! He’s pretty coherent as well, I really hope he makes it out 🩷

I cant imagine hurting this man for nothing so sad😢

This guy seems wicked nice and kind. Get cleaned and make it out of the jungle

Liiiiooonellll my man. 4:27 "A couple bags of saline will do that to ya." What a badass 😂😂

Liked, appreciated, and subscribed. You are doing some major work for the good team!

Hi Lionel I wish you blessings, healing and good luck in your future; Pat

God has Lionel, a very special soul, wrapped tightly in his arms. He's holding Lionel, He loves him so very much. I can feel that.

Ich wünsche Lionel alles Gute und viel Kraft! Er kann es schaffen,ich mag ihn. Viel Glück auf deinem Weg Lionel! ❤

Heartbreaking. Lovely person. God help him ❤

Poor guy man..he needs true genuine guidance. I hope he finds recovery.

You can see his kindness through his eyes. God Bless him and keep him safe💖

Such a beautiful person. I pray he gets clean.

Prayers

Ultimate prayers & A very generous “ thank you “ for showing us humanity at its rawest . We the people

Some just get you in the heart ! This young man is one of them . He is a good soul and has honest eyes . So much saddness in his eyes . Please get out now ! Nobody is your friend in Kensington. I am praying for you to find your way soon ❤️‍🩹

It is so sad to see what the government has done to this country God bless the world Jack from Maine

Wow , he is really strong He took that unfortunate attack like it was nothing while he has a whole in his head . He is a total champ

Im a 45 year old from the UK..i started using heroin when i was about 18 back in 1997 and ive been a heroin..methadone and crack addict for 27 or more years now..the time just goes..ive been in and out of so many detoxes..prisons..rehabs and other facilities ive lost count..thankfully about 15 years ago i stopped committing crimes and haven't been in prison since then..i have managed to get a nice place to live which is mine and i have managed to maintain my family connections..thank God my folks stuck by me over all the years of shit i put them through...and today although i cant say im clean because im on 100ml of methadone daily but i live an ok life and slowly im getting there..its great to see all the nice positive comments for this guy..most comments i see on these vids are always good and positive which is great because not all of us addicts are bad people..some of us have suffered bad things..some of us are empaths and struggle with this fucked up world..i wish this guy all the best and i hope when he is ready he gets better 💚🙏🙌

Lionel is a good guy, I can easily relate to him in the interview. He seems to be in bad shape and it touched me to see the suffering in his face and his voice. I feel the sadness. Sleep must be a big problem for homeless people in Kensington, now even more so after the big "cleanup of Kensinton Av" that the new mayor has instigated. Now cops order people to move on, to leave, they don't let them relax and stay at a place wherever they are, a sort of criminalization of resting or sleeping in a public space. Lionel, try to get some help, I wish you all the best, and thank you guys for the interview.

Prayers sent.My heart goes out!!!!❤

Such a handsome man - if only he had teeth and was out of drugs. Beautiful face, beautiful voice, and a beautiful life being wasted 😢

My son died two years ago from overdose age 44. I was fortunate to have him for as long as i did. May God bless this young man.

poor guy thought find a rich villa, and his grand father gave him a hut from the hill has eyes

Praying for this man I hope he can survive on the streets I hope he is a born again Christian ✝️ 🙏

Lionel, you are such a beautiful soul. The day you were born was a blessing. You deserve to have a good life. You can change your life- it's a real possibility, you CAN do it. I'm saying prayers for you, Lionel. You're in my heart

Thanks for Sharing.

Lord please help these lost souls find Jesus.

Prayers for Lionel

Dear God save this man

you deserve better dude. pls get clean and lead a better life. God is with you! peace and love

The most once powerful country on earth America! I cant understand how youve allowed this to happen !

People don’t realize when your really homeless you do not have a phone, the phone is the first thing to go for a hit

this breaks my heart. I am an addictions therapist and see this everyday. He seems like a nice kid who needs help. I hope he finds it soon.

Wishing this young man well, I hope he finds his way 💖💖

May the Lord guide his steps and watch over him 🙏

Man this is the most normal I’ve seen him.

You have a lovely heart, and I hope life can improve in ways that will bring you all the happiness you need 🦋

Bless you! You can come through it a stronger person.

It is time america starts taking care of its own

He's definitely not ok.

So sad watching these ,I hope he finds peace one day and the interviewer seems genuine aswell. Most addicts are dealing with trauma , I remember someone telling me once addiction is a symptom of suffering

I am praying for him, as I scrolled through my feed I came across your channel, I sat staring at his face! I could feel his pain just looking at your thumbnail...I want him to succeed so very badly! I too live in PA. I am in Schuylkill County & it's rough here as well but if he took an hour trip my way, there are so many programs that will help you plus job placement! If ya see him again, pass this info on. I am sending love & hope that he heeds any of the comments support & options! He seems to have a beautiful soul...we all get lost from time to time but he NEEDS TO GET AWAY FROM THAT SH*T ASAP!!! I am 41 & have no family either...I have two beautiful, intelligent little girls! I am blessed! Ty for your content & I wanna send a huge hug & shout out to him, dude, KNOW YOU AREN'T ALONE!!! TRAVEL A LIL & TAKE A CHANCE, YA DO EVERYDAY TAKING THAT GARBAGE BUT IT'S A GAMBLE THAT YOU SHOULDN'T BE WILLING TO TAKE WITH YOUR LIFE! YOU ARE TOO AMAZING TO DWELL WITHIN YOUR PAIN, GET OUT WHILE YA CAN 🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀

❤

Should've stayed in Delaware

You can do it Lionel. You are still strong my brother 💪🏻🙏

Brother, I already do wish you nothing but the best.

Hey dude.🔥 You are not on your own and you are not independent 🔥

1:01 "He died last year." 5:14 "I tried to call my Paw-Paw." Is it a different grandfather or is he forgetting what he says that quick?

It's great to see him upright. Speaking clearly and consciously. Last footage I saw of him he was bent over at the hips. Stuck.

Oh geez, I hope this guy finds a better situation. He seems like a decent person. Good luck on your journey🙏

Don’t do drugs

“Cane here for more opportunity.” Yeah right.

So sad in this day and age. I hope he goes home or his family reach out to him 🙏

He is just so beautiful and it breaks my heart into a million pieces...

Gods warrior wow

The thing is you bring Urself and your habits with you. Nothing changed it seems like it got worse.

I remember Lionel's earlier videos... He actually looks better than before.. Stay well Lionel 😊

Have you ever ran into Mal of AML films in Kensington? I think you two would be something great helping the homeless. So happy to see you’re channel growing!

That angel is long gone. Its all devil from the word go,nothing but poison fentanyl and benzos

When will America house its homeless and prescribe safe opiates for addicts to stop this carnage from synthetic opiates….
