Poppy Gardiner Interview
Poppy May Gardiner, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Translational Medicine & Physiology at the WSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine in Spokane, WA.
This interview was filmed on 11-15-2024 as part of our documentary, "Every 36 Hours: The Opioid-Fentanyl Crisis In Spokane." This is a ROUGH CUT, meaning we still have work to do including adding b-roll, improved graphics, and (who knows) maybe even some music. More to come!

Pop Up Warming Centers - Segment 2 - "Running A Warming Center Isn't Hard" How hard is it to operate a pop-up warming center? It's a lot of work but it's not hard. It just requires a lot of commitment.

    As the locals affectionally call it camp dope, and as soon as it moved into that area crimes rose significantly as they do everywhere the homeless live in spokane. I was homeless in spokane not that long ago and i can say from experience that the manority of the people homeless here are addicts. There is help available they choose not to accept it.

    I've been watching and following from Utah for a few years now. That lady there is the most awesome caring human I've run across that actually really cares about her hurting brothers and sisters on the streets. God bless you, ma'am. 🌟 I've sent her barrier shelter videos to our Utah governors staff to show them how it's done in hopes of them allowing these kind of shelters. However, they don't even respond to me.😢

    So happy when they moved in for the winter but then they tore down all the people had gathered with any pride or having an address to get a job. 😢😢. They should have put down tarps for floors and put up those long metal and tarp dwellings. Then let them move in so no one would have known they were there.

    Hi ! I live in spokane and i’ve been doing some research on what the city’s doing to help the house less population and drug/crime problem as it’s been affecting my neighborhood and there’s been a stabbing and a super public and scary attempt of murder (my next door neighbors are using and selling narcotics and they have houseless people/customers/friends over all day and all night long) right in front of my place just in 2023 and it honestly makes me afraid to leave my apartment and i can’t afford to move. Anyways i have a question/idea that if you see this comment it’d be super cool to get your opinion on; i just watched an interview with the mayor and she mentioned the city’s struggling with the trash pickup from the homeless population because the sheer amount of it and not having enough hands on deck, and i thought it could be a cool idea for maybe the city to employ some of the houseless people to pickup trash all around the city (or where ever they can) and turn it into a mobile trash pickup or something at the end of each day. I’m super curious if you think people would be interested in taking an opportunity like that or even if the city would even be willing to employ houseless people for that. I’m really passionate about helping people and the environment and it’s always bugged the shit out of me that there’s trash literally and random crap everywhere in spokane; i used to do pickups myself but i started feeling unsafe doing it alone (i don’t know many people in spokane so i couldn’t really recruit friends and family) it would be really beneficial to get more people on board and if we could potentially create jobs for people while cleaning up the city/planet it’s just a double whammy. But yeah since you seem like you’re super involved in all this and know these guys experiences and feelings i’m curious if you think this idea is viable?
