In this interview, Lionel opens up about life in Philadelphia. He talks about how he ended up there from Texas, as well as his family back home. He's worried about his Paw-Paw because he said he hasn't spoke to him in a while and he hopes he's still alive. He's also struggling with addiction. He got assaulted recently, and had to get medical treatment for a wound on his head. He hopes to get his life together and get up off the streets and away from drugs.

  • 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 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.

    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
  • 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.
  • @grainofsand4176
    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.❤❤
  • @LimoneneDaddy

  • @Matt-it5eh
    This is just pitiful 😞. This man is so sweet. This world is a very cruel place to live. This breaks my heart 😔
  • @ryansvg4367
    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.
  • @thomascarey6915

  • @HildeAzul
    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!).
  • @elmobolan4274
    He seems way too sweet to be in this situation, i hope he finds his way back....
  • @messymaria72
    He is so vulnerable and alone it really is heartbreaking 💔

    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!
  • 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.
