These two beautiful people could be any of us! Honestly, most of us are only a few circumstances away from being held in the grip of an addiction. He was a chef known throughout Western Europe, and she was the manager for 5 hotels! Career wise, they did everything right! They didn't intend to become addicts. This wasn't what they dreamed of becoming when they were children. Things just happened. Life happened. These are good people. I hope they can get the help they need to resurface from the depths of addiction and create healthier lives for the long term. May God bless them. 🙏🏾
you are right, but still...we do not know if their stories are true. criminals tend to lie. It is a shame that they can not get away from the stuff. she would be very pretty, but now she looks like a zombie. so sad :(
Both beautiful people, inside and out. I so hope and pray they get off the drugs so they can live with their sweet kitty somewhere safe and clean. I believe they can do it and I'm rooting for them 💕
As someone who wants to go into neuroscience specifically to work in addiction thank you so much for the work you do on the streets and online giving people like me who are learning a resource that comes from a very human place.
I adore these two!! Hopes for their success & angels all around them. How demeaning to have your living space and possessions bulldozed! They are both intelligent and motivated; those are the type of people who deserve priority housing and support.
I am an addict and Korean living in the states. It has been 15 yrs of battling. My husband and I are both addicts but he has been clean for many years. I would love to help them. She reminds me of myself. I want to get out of myself by helping other addicts. ❤
Two lovely souls glad u are with each other at this hardest time pharma has a lot to answer for but just shows adiction will get u in the end i really hope you both get clean and have peace you dont need much more than love and peace you both talented people and deserve life and real happiness xx
This is from long term use. They need long term abstinence to achieve full sobriety. That’s always the most difficult thing to do. Detox is possible it’s the staying clean that’s imperative!!!! Good luck. 🤞 it’s not easy out there. For anyone
@@CMoore8539 True, but they would look a lot younger and better if they stayed clean for 6 months and treated their bodies better during that time. The homelessness is what's really ageing them as well, in combination with the drugs. Notice how the non homeless drug addicts never look nearly as old as the homeless drug addicts. It shows you how bad homelessness ages you. One of the girl on Mals channel was 34 or 35, and she actually looked 60's and 70's, legitimately. She got clean and found a place to live, and within a year she looked in her 30's. It was unbelievable. That's not the norm. Usually you can't reverse it to that degree, and some people may not be able to much at all. I was very proud of her and impressed by her unbelievable accomplishment.
Just being dirty like this would drive me absolutely nuts...i just couldn't do it. How can a person who has lived in so many fabulous beautiful places. Worked in an industry of prominence, have an apt in Milan, 2 cars etc..etc..throw it all away for drugs? Well he probably didn't need any insurance settlement money..
@@john1-29_aka_LHT-LFA When this video first dropped, Mal included photos this gentlemen gave of him dressed to the nines working in the restaurant business with a couple of well-known famous people. He is not making his background up. Why are you defaulting to questioning the validity of his life history? That seems quite cynical and messed up. Give someone the benefit of your doubt. Drugs don't discriminate. You know that!
What's the saying ? Hindsight is 20/20 They didn't get this way overnight, and most didn't forsee themselves ever getting to this point. So how do you fix something you don't see coming ?
I got respect for this guy but I sometimes feel there are excuses I understand about looses his parents I lost mine in the matter of a year n felt like the world ended but I had to be stronger and stand my ground but I hope they both get clean
@kelseyf4696 both look like they had trouble(maybe a fight with another guy or someone)a good women stands behind her a men&a men helps his wife!Greetings from A.M.
"Xylazine-associated wounds were broadly described as small lesions appearing mostly on extremities both at and away from injection sites, often within hours or days of exposure, that quickly developed into large, complex, chronic wounds. Reported risk of secondary infection was generally low but appeared more common among unhoused populations. Most participants preferred conservative treatment strategies that included regular wound care, enzymatic debridement, and hygiene. Xylazine-associated wounds and xylazine withdrawal reportedly act as significant barriers to care, including addiction treatment. Participants reported urgent need for scientific research and evidence-based guidance on the management of xylazine-associated wounds and withdrawal.". -- 2024 peer-reviewed scientific article (Xylazine-Associated Wounds and Related Health Concerns Among People Who Use Drugs: Reports From Front-Line Health Workers in 7 US States)
I think the drugs get them so mixed up they can't find a way out of their situation. Maybe the real fact is that due to criminal records they can't get hired. Then they use drugs as an excuse. He is very handsome even with no teeth. He looks like a fashion model. And she was very pretty before the broken jaw but still very elegant. You don't need to be that clean either. That is another excuse I hear from the homeless. I think there are a lot of smelly people around and you dent even have to have a full shower every day. It is better for your skin if you don't. If you can wash up where you smell, that will pass. After a while, your hair will stop producing oil and you just brush it, and it doesn't smell or look greasy. They need to realize they can't amass the contents of a house outside. He should have one backpack, and she should have one tote bag and be discreet. All the stuff they have is weighing them down and holding them back in a place they don't need to be.
It depends, on the people, whether they set the animal as a priority or not, you know. I've seen animals having a good life with the homeless, and others that were neglected and not cared for. Both cases exist. I had a dog when I was homeless, on the streets, and he always had everything he needed, food, water, a bed in the sleeping bag together with me, exercise all day on the road with me, and I also took him to the vet for check-ups and shots and whenever he needed it. He was my priority, my best friend, my protector, I loved him more than myself, and I would not be alive today had I not had him by my side. I'm glad though I made it off the streets before he was really old, so he could live out his last years in a real home with me. The streets are nothing for an old and frail animal. With the right and caring people, a dog can have a better life with the homeless than locked up alone in a small apartment all day. That's more cruel I think.
Yes, for sure there's crack in Italy! I live in Zurich, Switzerland, and crack was here 25 years ago already, and today it's still everywhere, it's on the rise actually, just starting to become a real issue here. We have easily accessible substitution programmes for opiate addicts, everybody has medical insurance, so it is covered. Sadly, many people in these programmes, once that need is cared for, turn to other substances like alcohol and cocaine/crack. It's a real problem. That's why people in these programmes need additional social support and rehab, which you actually get, but still, they have to want to go back to a normal life, do something meaningful with their life, it takes a huge effort to get out of that lifestyle. Also, cocaine/crack is a "recreational" or "party" drug, or people use it at work. It's not fun, though, not at all, that drug is the devil, really, especially in the form of crack.
I don't understand how they live in such chaos & all the trash how hard is it to throw something in the garbage I'm not just saying this because of all the stuff around them I'm just saying in general
He can't even take care of himself. You can't be addicted like he is and have that frame of mind. If he can't even control what he does for himself, then of course he can't for her. His whole psychological and mental make up is severely damaged. I'm honestly surprised more of you don't understand this.
Honestly I know more then I would like to know this was almost 5 months ago I can't remember what he said and I'm not going to re watch the video but I am saying that if you pay attention to this video and another video that they have posted if he could just step out of the way and allow her to go to a rehab or hospital or even family or friends so that can she get some real rest because if you look at both of them they are burnt out but she is running on fumes I am saying that he is being a little selfish if he doesn't realize that he IS the stronger link right now and if I was HIM I would give HER a break. Breaking this down she has probably been the strong link but if they don't want to break there chain then he needs to take on his own and then some. Not comparing but relating I myself am in a relationship yes both of us addicts and by the grace of God and the grace of my partner he always made sure we had a roof over our head out of seven years now going to be eight. We only spent ONE night in the rain homeless. So now as me noticing my partner is getting burnt out I do everything and anything I can to lighten load on his shoulders even if it's something as small as making sure he drinks water or something as big as doing everything in my power to make him take a few days off from using. I myself have not used uppers sense June of 2023 and I have 60 days clean from downers with 2 relapses In-between. I more then "understand"
By the way you can take whatever I say as my opinion because at the end of the day all these comments are people's opinions no one knows what the two of them feel see touch hear or go through day in and day out except them.
Mal, I love your channel. Question, why do these people live in filth? It looks like they could set up camp. But, the they live like wild pigs. I wish all well. But, I don’t see them try to improve their existence. 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸
Wow I can tell these people have good hearts. I hope they can find their way back to sobriety
Most addicts are the nicest people you will ever meet, they are just in bad situations

So nice couple ❤ warmhearted and real fighters ❤❣️
I hope they can get a home and get straightened out Soon.🙏💞
I pray the desire to get clean becomes stronger than the desire to use. It has to or you'll stay stuck. Addicts know this.
God bless
God Bless you 🙏💛

Sometimes, the cycle of victimhood is almost impossible to climb out of.
Almost.

They could be a very attractive looking couple if it wasn't for drug's I pray they'll both put the drug behind and sort their lives out together 🙏💛🌻
I hope and pray the two of you can rehabilitate and get back on your feet.
This is just so sad. I really wish them well.
Neither one of them look their Age (both look MUCH OLDER) he’s feeling no pain in this video same with her
A whole lot older but that’s what drugs will do to people. I hope and pray they get straightened out Soon.🙏💞

Poor soul . Divorce on children is so hard . I’m sorry sweet soul
They are still beautiful despite the rapid aging due to drugs. Now, cab you imagine what they would look like without drugs?
Hope they get their home and back onto the life the deserve
It’s sad and tragicu guys can get help and help others you deserve it
Man. Among the many consequences drug use sure ages you prematurely. Good luck to you both!
So sad man
Hope he finds his dentures
They look like good people
Best wishes for housing soon
I hope they find their way....They have been through alot
Shame on pharmaceutical rich 🤬 drug cartels war…. Great people it’s affecting we need big time rehabilitation facilities BIG ONES this is sooo sad
These two have a very interesting story. I hope they get out.

It looks like someone RECENTLY beat her up… her eyes and upper face are very swollen.
And his right hand looks broken I think someone got into a couple fights even her neck has marks it's horrible to see.

Very good points
Get the cat a good home....how can you take care of an animal when homeless??? It's not right.
Their cat has its tags is healthy looking and they love their cat....what else would you like to see taken frommthese two? Do you have a soul?
What's your problem? Judgemental human
Stop attacking them. Their cat is fine. You want to take someone they love away from them now? Cruel.

She's actually only 44, scary right, relatively young still. You would think she's a minimum of 65 or even in her 70's.
