Today in #Portland, across the street from Stadium Fred Meyer, I came across a junkie who looked to be on the verge of death. I checked to see if he needed to be Narcanned. He and I had a long discussion afterwards. He told me that he regrets his bad life decisions and that nobody else checked on him - and that my one act of kindness changed his perspective. He's going to try to end his chemical dependence on Fentanyl so he can reunite with his wife and 14-year-old daughter in St. Helens. His name is Theodore, but he goes by Paul. He wants a better life. He's not dead yet. There's still hope. Please pray for this broken man.
