Hi Mark! Where did Damien's go fund me for rehab go? Did something happen and it had to be cancelled?
Thank you for your neutrality in allowing these stories to be heard.
chu barney hey, concerning the part about illegal immigration, his father is american according to him, so if thats true and everything back then went right, he probably has an american passport, which makes him legal. Im in no way a lawyer and such but my best friends girlfriend is greek, lived in greece but her father is american and i think she got a passport too
@@chubarney4107 Thanks Chu! will check that out.
please be aware of fake go-fund-me accounts being made on this page.
Hi my daughter sent me this video.. what can I do to make sure Damien get help? Was he able to get the guidance, place to live and employment?
nextari thank you for all you’ve done to help. He deserves it 🙏🏽❤️
Damian is currently incarcerated, we welcomed a son and a daughter July of this year, we are both sober and are working towards a better future!! Thank you everyone who commented with kind words and support. Everything is going to be ok :)
I am so glad to hear this, although I am sorry he is incarcerated. I hope he gets released soon and that you both stay strong and enjoy a long, beautiful life with your children! Keep moving forward and never turn back! 🙏🏽
Είθε ο κύριος Ιησούς Χριστός ημών να σας έχει καλά!!!
Aww...God bless you all with a beautiful family.i am SO happy to hear these wonderful news.Damien seems like a very kind and loving soul.Take care you both,stay in this good life as sober,im so happy for you!! You have been so strong..be proud and I wish your whole familie a good life..im so proud of you Guys! MUCH LOVE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Question is, is he still sober? Or sober only because he is locked up?
@@rp42069on his release date, make sure you are at the facility to pick him up and assist with helping him maintain his sobriety….Since you “care” so much. Go troll somewhere else!
If his story is true, he's also a survivor of human trafficking
thats not human trafficking
you're right
@@ShepherdsWithoutSheep human trafficking is extremely broad.... I was trafficked before, but not in the way you would think
@@jamesthomas1649 someones gotta call a spade a spade.
@@killplayz1000 what way?
Man...He sounds like a hurt young boy trapped in his own mind watching the world change around him and he feels that he had no control or say so. Bless him
speed
hes so lost in life. he has no idea where to even start with changing his life and to quit using. he seems like an amazing person & i hope he can get clean, get a job and have a warm home.
U been there
What the hell do you know about being lost.
J Q you dont even know me wtf 😂😂
@@ella-hv9hv enlighten me if you will...
Wow, @ella says something nice and people attack her. Nice crowd.
When he said "I havent lost myself, yet... for the most part." So heartbreaking.
He hasnt found something worth quitting for yet.
He seems like such a lost, gentle guy. Even the way he speaks, he’s so well mannered and polite. I really hope things work out for him, poor guy :(
he's hiiiiiiiigh
@@Themidnightegardener yes, but he has a good soul.
he seems so innocent... and sad... he's very handsome. I wish him the best.
@@joshjames8389 lmaoo
He really is. You can't generally use 'Beautiful' to define or describe a man, but he is just that.. Beautiful💙
True awww lol
This guy lost his innocence the second he stuck his shlong in another man's bum for cash while high on meth lady.
@@irate74 like for real lol
I saw myself using until the day I died too.... but I am alive and 4 years clean. We do recover
Yes we do.
Keep on pushin
Yes yes Mariah Rock 🤩 I'm 5years clean it does work if you work it
I am very proud of you, please keep up the incredible work.
Congrats man. Inspiring stuff.
Many of these folks say their childhood was "normal," but they then go on to disclose highly abnormal, dysfuctional, & violent things that were perpetrated upon them.
Desensitized. I thought I had a normal childhood too until I went to a sober living lodge and talked to a professional
We all have the desire to be acceptable
I think to them it was “normal,” in a way. They were living it and didn’t have anything to compare it to until they grew up.
It's what they think it's normal
He seems vulnerable, he is scared and lost.
What does " skid row” means? I am hungarian...thx
@@timmorak3129 i think its a place in la where a lot of homeless ppl live in tents, drugs, gangs etc
@@Ps3keks15 you think or you're sure :-D thanx anyway!
My life be like ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@@timmorak3129 skid row is a rough inner city neighbourhood or streets with drug dealers, addicts, prostitution, strip clubs, homeless hostels...in most big cities in America, Canada, Australia...not really in poorer countries, they are more civilised !
Wow, he’s literally a trafficking victim. So sad. My heart is cheering for him.
traficked to the promised land... its sad... i know 5 peeps who did it and 1 made it who was already well off... dont move out there when ur broke
He mentions his childhood was normal but then he says his dad molested him...so sad that he reflects he thought it was normal. He looks like a nice guy. Hope he gets it together.
Most of these videos seem to start that way, where a normal childhood turns into physical or sexual abuse during childhood
he literally refers to the man that conned him and then essentially trapped him here as a "gentleman" through the entire story. this man has a good heart and i hope so badly he can get back home to greece.
They think it is normal because it’s all that they know at the time.
and he said he wishes he never left greece even with his dad.... so that tells you how bad things are. the child molester dad was better than what happened after that. :(
thats what i did to, its normal but then u see others peoples lives are "more normal" , its denial i guess but at after i saw a psy she said i had alot of trauma from a young age... i was like huh? weird click in my mind... i nnever even viewed it as a trauma or anything like that
SOMETHING ABOUT HIS SOUL..HIS LIGHT IS AMAZING ..HIS RAW HONESTY..IS AMAZING...PRAYERS SENT
Your right
Definitely. He’s a good dude, genuine heart.
Totally agree Jessi!
Lmao kinda funny most of the stuff he was saying was lies
thank you for saying
Human trafficking happens to men & boys too
T D Are you hearing impaired? He was molested for years by his father
@T D 1 out of 4 girls get sexually abused before the age of 18
1 out of 6 boys get sexually abused before the age of 18
@This Guy who hurt you
#them to/or can we call it"👎 judgement"
That’s basically what happened to him.
Damien thanking Mark for his time listening to him talk, is his purity, sweetness and humanity shinning through.
Trauma is a strange beast! He's a gentle soul. I hope he gets help, and raises above his circumstances!!!!
For all the people saying he needs to go bak to Greece....his problems will only follow him. Addiction doesn't stay behind. I wish him the best and hope he realizes that he wants to live and get better more than die.
No addiction may not stay behind but he needs his Mother right now.
there will be less drugs there
Yeah so that's a reason to stay on skid row. Addiction will follow anywhere so just stay in the epicenter of fucked up drug business
@@thematriarchy2075 yeh and probably even more in La...
He's not Greek. It's all bs
Damien, if your reading this please get to "The Dream Center" in LA. Then call your mom and tell her the truth, you really need her right now. Don't be ashamed, she loves you and would want you to turn to her. Praying for you🌹
His mother allowed sexual abuse to happen!
Poor guy. He's so lost. Molestation damages children and it seems like they become a magnet for people who will exploit them. I hope he can get himself together.
That's very true.
Damien, find a way to get back home to your mother. America isnt the dream everyone expects or is looking for.
Sleepless Aquarius nah he needs to leave LA. You really don’t know how bad Europe is getting
Sleepless Aquarius A lot of the Afghan heroin goes through Greece before going to mainland Europe. I have a feeling they won’t help him in Greece since all their resources are going to the incoming Syrian, Afghan, Pakistan and elsewhere refugees.
100%
Any country would be better than America....more family values and community. America is money
Ya you have to actually work. He got money for drugs though
I've read at least 100 comments after watching Damien's interview. Like most of you, my heart goes out to him. What troubles me is that so many of you are simply struck by his physical appearance. Hundreds of comments about how good-looking he is... Does that make him more worthy of compassion?!?? If he wasn't attractive, would some of you have even bothered to watch this video???
There's something really fucked up with society when its easier to sympathize with or help someone because you find that person physically appealing. I wonder how different the comments would read if Damien was unattractive, but spoke the same words, with the same sincerity and emotion...
Please, don't misunderstand me: this guy's story is heartbreaking, and I wish I could do something to help him, and so many others like him. But, please try not to determine someone's worthiness of empathy and compassion simply by how attractive you consider them.
That’s not it at all. It’s just when you see someone who doesn’t necessarily “look” homeless, it’s extra shocking. Even mark has said the multiple times on his videos.
bruh. hé looks just like any pof trash junkie... you my friend need a life, majorly. when you are jealous of a junkie you know for a fact its your Time to start suckkkking deeeees'
this comment makes you look likethe pièce of shiiit you probably are
@@mama.ashley Well, what does a "homeless" person look like? There are some presuppositions there. I think the original comment has some validity. His looks can work for him and people may not respond the same way if he weren't as attractive as he is.
I read at least 75 or more comments and only 2 of them say how good looking they think he is, it sounds to me like you suffer from low self esteem issues if that is your most important comment 🙄
You can hear the sincerity in this guy he is a gentleman caught at the wrong place at the wrong time
As a former addict, I can honestly say that cravings never go away. You just have to learn to live with them. Understanding that life is suffering helps me. Wish you all the best.
Is it like giving up sugar for the rest of your life? Like never eating a cupcake or ice cream as long as you live? I've tried to give up sugar countless times. I wonder if its similar??
@@elyseeblackstone4597 The euphoria of drugs is many times greater than you can experience naturally. You'll never get that experience out of your head. Every time something stressful happens you suddenly start thinking about that escape from reality into a fairy tale and you know you just need to grab some money and get high. You'll always want to chase that experience you had on drugs the first time. I would say that giving up the sweet food is challenging, but it's not that hard compared to heroin or meth. Once you try a hard drug as heroin, you're hooked forever.
@@elyseeblackstone4597 Kinda funny... because I guess it could be compared to that. It's just that the "good" feelings you get from drugs would be exponentially higher, the "bad" feelings you get from stopping them would be exponentially higher, there are legal consequences right around the corner with every single time you go to find your fix, etc. etc.
I mean... one thing that makes it hard to say "yeah, it's like sugar" is just because of all of the negative ramifications of hard drugs. Can too much sugar be bad for you? Yeah. But it won't compare to a daily meth habit for the same length of time, ya know? Is sugar releasing dopamine when you eat sweets? I don't know.. probably. But drugs are releasing them on a much higher level.
Anyways, when I think about it.. it's like yeah, it is like having sugar all your life and then being like "absolutely zero more sugar.. ever.." And then 2 years later someone has your favorite brownie and you think you can just take a bite. Ya know.. just a bite because you have not been the same since you stopped sugar. You don't have the same motivation and energy. You haven't felt happy. You want just one good day... because without sugar, you don't feel right. You felt right before sugar. You haven't felt right since. One... just ONE good day sounds too good to pass up. Just imagine that bite definitely breaks your clean cycle. I'm not trying to explain it like you're a child, I believe you have the idea.. I just can't emphasize enough how much stronger the ups and downs are. That's the only thing that doesn't make me want to compare them... yet, they are alike if you look at it a certain way.
@@JustAGuy85 Geez...you brought it home in the realest way.😣
Life ain’t just about suffering it’s about growing from it so you can see the other side as well, keep pushing I’ll do the same
What an unbelievably handsome, self aware and gentle human. He has so much potential, I hope he finds himself in better circumstances soon.
Bro
I am hungarian
I came here when I was 20
Move out from LA . Get yourself clean, get an honest job ... stay on the good path and you will make it. Try to get clean brother .... I drive a truck, its an honest Job .... helps me support my family . You can do it brother !
Not that easy with the trauma he has on his heart
“I’m thankful im still coherent and still have my teeth” 😔 he’s so insightful i hope he gets clean soon 😞
This is so sad, even when the interview was about to end he kept on talking. He’s really been holding it in and is scared. Must’ve felt really good to talk about it. I know this in a re-upload but omg. Like just you spending time to talk with him, he appreciated it. Probably felt safe, from the streets and from himself. Wow.
I get the sense he's hanging a little longer in the studio in hopes that Mark can reach out to him. He doesn't want to go back out there.
Mark kept trying to end the interview. Pretty sad and awkward.
@@morganzimmerglass9925 yeah, that was painful to watch. :(
I think he kept talking as he was reaching out to Mark for help. He does, however, pay put a LOT of money for all those drugs. Maybe he was hoping for the $ that Mark gives people for food.
💔
Love you brother. We do recover man. I used to shoot heroin all day, used to smoke clear, used to pop Xanax bars and overdose and be blacked out for months at a time man. I'm coming up on 4 years clean man. I remember the feeling of being way deep down in a hole with no idea of how I would get out and losing hope that I ever would. You are loved brother just as you are man. Just keep trying man, you're not a fuck up, you're not a failure. Keep trying man.
respect Jake, hope u are still doing good!
Such kind words @wowisjake 😊
This is a genuinely beautiful human being, especially when he says thank you so sincerely to the interviewer for asking him his questions, commenting on how he doesn't really get to discuss these things with anyone and how it was good for him to talk about it. These people don't have the little things we take for granted... a bright man who has simply fallen victim to some tragic, shitty circumstances. It is sad how many potentially incredible human beings end up suppressed by shitty situations and shitty people. Godspeed to this man, hoping he finds peace.
I have a theory..most drug addicts are the nicest , softest people, lots of times with the shittiest luck. Damien is definitely one.
Damien is literally decaying before our eyes. He gotta get help now, before it's no turning back. His energy is honest and positive I wish him well.
He’s a precious young guy. I pray he turns around. Glad he met Mark to talk about his past trauma. That is therapeutic. God bless him.
What a nice guy! He seems so vulnerable and lost. I hope he can get an opportunity to get out of this lifestyle and find happiness in his life.
He's trapped in a bad dream. That must be awful.
A night mare I’ve been there please find the way out brother if I met you I would do my best to help you
@@rodneywells4640 hello this might sound as a very weird request but you said you've been here too. Would you be ok to talk about it ? It'd really interest me. If you don't feel like it no problem though. Have a great day and congratulation for having found the way out :))
@@idag7221 I’m Australian living in Australia 🇦🇺
But I did find away out of the mind set
The trappings of addiction
@@idag7221 I would be happy to talk about it
@@rodneywells4640 wow thank you so much. So may I ask how you started using?
Edit I just saw your first comment. So you're Australian that's great. I'm French :))
Thank you for letting him talk. Clearly he needed that.
I hope he is doing ok, i feel bad for all the times hes been takin advantage of. I hope and pray hes able to get past it and get sober. I did heroin and meth for almost 20 years and i have been clean for 17 months so it is possible
What keeps your mind occupied from taking drugs?
@@enuphsayd9746 i take suboxone and it really helps with cravings. I also remind myself every day that i could go back to being homeless in and out of jail, starving, criminal activity, and i don't want that for myself or my family.
Good for you!!! I've been off the needle for a year. We can be friends if you want.
Also on Suboxone
@@sarahmcdaniel5263 does Suboxone and methadone get you high though?? I'm just curious.. I'm currently kicking H. Snorting it and just tryna get my life together...
I take opiates for pain which I will continue to do since I'm paralyzed from a wreck and pain is daily... But I was just curious about sub and methadone.. like do you feel something when you take it ? I'm just wondering because I don't want to get addicted or dependent on something else ya know lol
Would love an update on him if you can find him!! Hoping he is doing better.
I wish they did updates.
Yes please do updates
He’s trying to get mark to be his mentor and lead him somewhere while watching over him bc he doesn’t trust himself
I agree. I hope Mark does extend himself in some way to Damien. It would be unsettling, no disturbing, to me if he didn't.
100%. I wish he’d find him and do a follow up
Mark can not save everyone! Please don't forget that.
@@EchoBravo370 they do want help but addiction is strong. If it was that easy to quit, the statistics wouldn't be around 10% (and that's being generous)
Yeah he was but I think he need some one that’s been there and made it back from dark . I always tell my kids this no matter how hard or dark your life seems to be there’s always light at the end of the tunnel just hold on
I’ll buy his ticket back to greece
did you ?
He's not Greek. No accent
@@fredsting9515 That’s exactly what I was thinking. How can he be here with English as his second language and not still have an accent?
@@fredsting9515 you can lose an accent in two years he’s been here for six or seven whatever he said so how do u figure he would still have one ?
@@HeyItsKayJayBae not true. I speak 3 languages. He doesn't even look greek and his mannerisms are not greek. Get real
he's still so literate and coherent i pray he can get the help he needs before he loses that
He's beautiful
Lashone High he is beautiful
He really could have been a model..still can
@@ChristalClearCarma yes he really could....
which led to his demise
@@flcutie315 he is. he reminds me of my former partner who hung himself last february. people who didn't see the trouble saw the beauty. the physical beauty. meaning, i don't know, when he lost everything and eventually took his life (in public, no less) people ran. or never accepted that anything was the matter. in some ways i think it made things even harder on him. counselors got crushes on him until another wave of psychosis and then he'd be banned from the office. this strikes a nerve.
He looks like a surfer and seems so "californian" - even in the way he speaks and his mannerisms. I wonder if there is anything that he could do at surf shops or something along the coast.
Have you been to California lol?
you definitely haven't been to California only speak if you have lived here
He’ll steal all their shit , poor thing ,he’s fucked 😩😩😩
@@marilyn3605 so cruel of u
@@rachelsarbeng6476 I have a brother just like him, I know what I’m saying, it’s the truth..
I am his same exact age and I have never used meth but I am have been a heroin addict for over 12 years. I have been in treatment twice and still deal with my addiction. Damien I will pray for you man I’m not too far away in Long Beach. I hope and pray to see you at a meeting one day. I wish he would just show up at a treatment facility there’s gotta be one that would scholarship him in....if he truly wants to get clean.
if america had socialist healthcare this would be doable. that bill would force him into never leaving the sidewlk
“I feel like my life is being wasted.”
It is, sir. It is.
He's still very young
@@abk8310 The years go by quicker than you think. Youth is very fleeting and I truly hope this man can get help and become the person he was really meant to be.
man, i just prayed for you! i can real live feel your energy through the screen and it’s so positive, considerin what you been through. i really hope your still alive because your worth it, and you deserve to feel like your worth it too. i hope you beat this❤️❤️
If I’ve learned anything from watching these videos its to STAY STRONG no matter what. No matter how hard life gets or where you’ve come from keep on pushing because its soo easy to fall🙏🏽.
China Doll and stay the fuck away from LA, and kill peodphiles immediately before they can damage people
Yea! And realize how far down you can go if you aren’t careful.
Man, sounds like a good dude.. thanking him at the end for talking to him
Awe. He calls his gf his lady
Ashleeb Whittlesey he’s a total gentleman! I hope he can recover
So you don’t normally hear a man call his girlfriend that? Is that not normal for you?
Well if his gf doesn't have a dick then I would say it is his lady !
Iacobus - I never hear men call their girlfriends their ladies.
Alexi Holford what you used to hearing bitches and hos? That’s not normal, but I guess I’m just old fashioned.
He’s way too sweet and gentle to be so lost on Skid Row 😢 Get home to your family!
You should let him talk some more, man... He wanted to, and he must've needed it so badly! I think this was probably the 1st time anybody listened to him, ever. No family there, and not even 1 friend to talk to for so long...
I would die.
God save him. So tragic 💔😥.
Mark, you’re amazing! Thank you for what you’re doing. Giving people a voice and helping them to the best of your ability. Just having someone that cares enough to listen is huge to people. If you ever get a chance. You should come to the Meth Mile in Boston, MA. So many sad stories and people looking for help here. I know you could touch so many lives and help so many people out here like you do there! Thank you again for being such an amazing person! ❤️
Wish we could get a part 2. I don't really want to see him deteriorated from last time, but want to see that he's alive. As long as there's life, there's hope. I wish he'd try to get clean.
What a polite young man, I appreciate that he thanked Mark for his time. I hope he does find it in him to get clean. He seems like he would really benefit from therapy.
I am saying my prayers for Damien right now. Love this dear guy.
I watch these to make me thankful for my life. I have so much compassion for people.
My heart breaks for Damien. I am the same age as him and I know there's a better way for him. He is such an articulate and genuine person and I commend him for telling his story. The key is he must wean himself off the drugs and get himself out of that environment. I've watched so many of your videos Mark and I see redemption for this man. I appreciate what you do and hope he gets the help he needs.
He needs psychological therapy asap to cope with his life.
Where is Damien today? Is he okay?
I love these interviews. It shows us the diversity of so many people. It causes us to feel empathy etc.. I have a rare disorder and wondered if there are any interviews of this type- medical diagnoses.
Man, this story is incredibly sad. Damien, if you read this, I'm sorry you're going through everything. I hope you find your way.
Damien? Do you know your way home? Do you??
GO!!
This one hurt to watch :( he seems so lost and scared.
He has such a gentle sould. ✌ 🤙 you got this dude.
He probably speaks Greek. So he maybe could translate some stuff as a job
Good idea
Who the hell speaks Greek in L.A? That sounds Greek to me lol
@@sunkissed38queen89 English is spoken sometimes in Greece, mostly in the tourism sector I'm guessing
He'd need to get off the drugs first
You really think this man sounds like his spelling, grammar and vocabulary are likely to be excellent in both Greek and English? Don't be silly. This guy's not the translator type.
I’m the same age as this guy and was addicted to heroin for a long time and if I hadn’t gotten help this could be my reality. This mans story hits home and I wish I could help him somehow
I was on the verge of tears, then he said he had hep and I burst. His story is so tragic 😥 he seems so kind and sincere, really hoping for him and soon, speedballs are so dangerous
He seems like a really nice guy and he looks very tired. He is just caught in hard place and cannot seem to get a break. I am rooting for him and hope he can find what he is looking for to better his life.
If we crossed paths I’d definitely of hit rock bottom with this guy. I hope he can achieve what I did. Life is SOOO much easier clean
He seems so kind. So much to live for.
for someone who was raised 80% of his life in Greece, he has a thick cali accent lol
I observed.... Like 100% American❗️... but is there a word or something... which u wouldn't use in Taxas OR elsewhere?!
Whats the Cali accent? I’m so cal born and raised
selenophile I don’t believe that part of his life is true. He also look like a surfer dude. Lol. 😂😂😂😂 Dudes be puttin’ on for real.
I was born and raised in the netherlands till 16 y/o. 23 now & dont have a accent either?
I mean, I was raised in Cali on the rez and moved to Texas and now everyone says I sound like I’ve lived here my whole life despite being here for about 6/7 years. I also have friends that were raised in Nigeria and they sound completely American, no accent at all. Voices change to fit the environment. I dont know him & I don’t know his full life story or anything it’s just a bit to think about, yanno?
Mark, your work is saving lives! you don't even know. Thank you!!!
What a lovely honest soul, living a life he doesnt deserve.
Man This dude could be a great actor. He has such an interesting way about him
I hate how I can predict that they have been abused, especially sexually. Makes me so angry. I feel so sorry for him.
I hope that these cruel "parents" get the pain tey did to their children- back in hell.
Oh you poor thing ,
Feeling angry
Hatin' that you know that
Imagine if you were actually in his shoes. Shut up
So confused..... he still calls the devil a “gentleman”.
When was the last time you saw the devil Kill or rape? He only suggested that we do those things and gives us a choice.
@@snaketheadversary6964 gave us knowledge aparently
At least he’s honest. He knows his addiction has taken over his life. He’s not acting like he can stop at any moment like a lot of others! God bless him cuz he’s still a pure soul amongst the darkness.
Incredibly sad.. really hope to God things can get better for him.
This is absolutely saddening to come to America and get hooked on drugs my heart is crying watching this god please wrap your hands around him 💜
God bless you Damien. You are so bright and genuine and I so wish that you find the strength to get out of that place. You could be so happy living a different life. If you stay there, that lifestyle will take everything from you and leave behind a shell of a man.
He’s beautiful inside and out! I hope his family sees this and sends for him 😔❤️
heartbreaking! I want give him a hug and tell him that he is genuinely loved.
Absolutely heartbreaking. I hope this guy finds his way out of this dark vortex he's stuck in.
My heart goes out to him. This is one of the saddest stories on here. I am so sorry. 🥺
This is not one of the saddest story, i have heard worst…indeed I had…!!!!
I find myself outpouring tears with some of the people you interview and I have no idea why. Like really weeping ..Damien made me cry hard today.
What a waste of a beautiful young man. He needs his family, I'm sure if he could get past the shame he's feeling that he could tell them. Prayers for you Damien wherever you are.
WASTE WHERE?!?! IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS STILL ALIVE TO ME!!
My props to him. I know addiction and the cycle is hard to break. People should understand it better. You cant "just" stop..it dont work like that. My best wishes to him and anyone dealing with addiction.. Keep your head up bro
I used to watch videos on this channel religiously, but I never thought that I'd one day be in a relationship with someone that was featured on this channel.
Damian* is my boyfriend, and he is a living angel...
I can't force him to get clean, but I know we will get there one day. We appreciate any prayers or words of support viewers are willing to offer.
Is he doing better?
Clearly he has some substance abuse issues, but I don’t think he has been totally forthright in telling ‘his story’ 🙏
Is there an update? Is he getting help?
@@moka7242 hey, he is sober!!
@@yuliyagarkusha8978 that’s great!
I really hope he makes it. He's so smart. His story was truly touching and he is so smart, so polite.
I pray for him. Changes what i think about addiction.
My heart really goes out to this guy..”God Bless his heart”. 🙏🏾☮️&❤️
I always learn a lot from these videos and I've been realizing I avoid watching some because I see the picture of their face and assume it's not going to be as interesting as another one. If I saw their face in public I might feel the same way and be more curious about some one who APPEARS more interesting, but every story I've listened to from these videos proves me wrong. All of them have something interesting to say, or something meaningful, or something that will make me think about my life differently. I should be willing to listen to everyone's story, because I never know how important it'll be.
So true
He's lost and truly needs to find his way. Praying for him
he seems like truly nice person. Hope the best for this man.
He reminds me of Caroline from 10 years back, I hope he will find help to get the life he deserves. Damien if you're watching this - good luck, I wish You all the best, I'll keep You in my prayers. Take care man!
Im walking his same shoes.. I feel him. This one hit me hard and being aware and acknowledging what your doing snd still doing it is a hard thing to explain.. man I wish him the best of luck.. everybody on this channel honestely 🙏🏼💯
dude go back home you are still young
His dad molested him at "home". The sad fact is that most runaways are running FROM something, not toward something.
He’s fucked now that he’s doing heroin and crystal meth🙄🙄
He needs to go back to his family poor kid stay strong brother keep it 💯
Keep it 100. What does that even mean?
This guy has a great personality and has so much potential, and he's chose this life. He's good looking and still young; he's got a chance. I hope that he takes advantage of time.
Oh my goodness... of all the videos I have watched, this brought me to extreme tears!! Who comes to America for this kind of crap? I am so sorry for this poor kid. And he's so beautiful. You can see his heart is in the right place. Poor fella. :'( I sure hope everything worked out for him.....
Am I the only one who thinks his American accent is 100% too perfect? For someone who grew up in Greece, lived mostly with his mom, probably didn't have money to go to an American private school...he has flawless accent, like you would never guess he is Greek. Just saying, something isn't right.
A guy named Tyler Posted that he was friends with this guy when he used to use heroin. That this guy in the video is lying he's from a town on the outskirts of LA. Tyler said he has been clean for 5 years now so I tend to believe him. Tyler offered to help if he wants to get clean. I thought something was fishy too no accent from Greece I'm from California he has a California accent. Anyway in California you can go to rehab for free why is there gofundme for him to go to rehab when it's free. All and all I hope he gets clean.
Very well spoken, polite & so handsome, hope he finds his way home xxx
