Tonight, on my way to get fancy pillows and a gravity blanket 10 minutes before the store closed, I came upon a man who was struggling on the street corner.
Initially, he seemed to have been gathering garbage by the corner (a normal scene in the city), closer look, there were things scattered about him - he was struggling to gather it all up, and in a drunken fashion backing up into zooming 6 lane traffic. Closer inspection, he had a postal uniform on. Fuck! I thought... as if not having a postal uniform would have changed the situation. Somehow in my mind, it had. But whatever, I kept walking... thinking someone else would help him. Gotta get these blankets after all... periodically looking back to see if someone else would help this man. No_one_did. Folks glared, stared, even heard, “Yo! Is that the postman? haha!”... heard from 2 men.
I walked back to where he was standing and observed for a moment more. I went inside the deli to ask the clerk for a trash bag. He was struggling with all this shit on the sidewalk and I really wanted him to get away from the cars. Items: kids action figure toys, 2 small baby jackets & his own jacket... he kept gathering it all up in his arms and dropping 1 item, then dropping everything. I came out after 2 minutes of the clerk showing me all of the fucking bags he was willing to part with. I said “NO, give me a real trash bag.” 2 minutes later I came out, he was walking down the train step stairs. “Seems ok now”, I thought. I went back in with the bag, gave it back to the clerk - in reality, I just did NOT want to deal with this right now.
Came back out to get on my way, he seemed to had fallen, belongings scattered everywhere. Ppl just stepped over him and his things. I went back, grabbed the bag and helped him throw his things into the bag. He was unstable. I told him to sit down (twice), and just hang out on the staircase for a moment. I asked him if he needed anything. He said no. I got him two Gatorade bottles made sure it was room temp (should have gotten him water instead).
He picked his head up and said ‘thank you bro, thank you... thank you bro,’ and shook my hand. I looked into his eyes and man I could see he was struggling. The holidays are hard for so many people. Was he using? Was his drug laced with something? Pointless I guess in trying to assume what happened. Could have been a multitude of things. He did not smell like alcohol, didn’t smell like anything at all really (and I have the nose of a dog) It made me sick to my stomach though literally had a visceral reaction to it.
I did not want to call 911. But let the clerk at the booth know. He wanted a description of the man and although he got that he is male, 30’s, 5’9, in postal uniform he still wanted his nationality and was red in anger that I did not provide that information. I suggested he go over and take a look and his anger grew. At least he knew someone was unwell on the premise... as well as a transit officer who was above ground sitting in an MTA car. I ended up walking away with him still screaming at my back on the microphone. I headed down to the subway, and my train arrived in seconds. Was supposed to go out later, staying in tonight.
So happens that this week I’m heading to a class that gives a 101 on drug overdoses and what we can do to save someone's life. I don’t know anyone who uses but I think it’ll be good info to have in my arsenal.
Fuck.
Pls check in on people this holiday.
All we really want is to connect with others - it’s at the root of addiction.I really hope this guy is okay.

As I'm sitting next to my dying father (colon cancer, triple bypass, last week 25 cm of intestine removed etc) as I type, him not having insurance for all his life, and all this stuff began almost 4 years ago, as a family, we haven't got any more real estate to sell, no more cars left to sell etc I ve sold all my private belongings (unnecesa luxury shit) only a few valueables left, still owe 6 digits on mils to banks (due to economy, inflation etc), I'm lost and see no way outta this. Because of my unlucky location, etrade and paypal is dead (due to no renewd licensing b/c of the autho government) but I'm still gonna list the last of my items I need to sell to make at least some kinda money to help out this situation, high anxiety, depr and no libido and no social life dont help, tho I'm still here to save up some 'death money' for myself when the shit starts to go down south real fast real with the banks and all. That's all I wanted to write. I'm almost 40, had an interesting tough life, hit me up if you are younger and want to hear coz I never had anyone to tell me the good and bad and the right and wrong, dos and donts in life. Ive learned the hard way, but dont want anyone else make the same mistakes. I've had it up to here. If i had to do a proper we write up, it d take too long. Sorry to take your time, all the mish mash of thoughts etc. Cheers and I'll be around.

- It’s a shitty situation...I wish you the best.BusterBoy
- Just an odd personal observation, both my parents died very suddenly in their 60’s. I never got the chance to say goodbye to either of them.BusterBoy
- As horrible as a slow painful death is, in a perverse kind of way, at least it gives those around a chance to offer support and say goodbye.BusterBoy
- But horrible all the same.BusterBoy
- Buster mate, that must'd been unbelievably tough. Esp not being able to say goodbye. Sorry for your loss :(helloeatbreathedrive
- life can be hard on us. health care should be an universal right. anyway life is so unexpected and balancing on the other hand, so be strong!api
- It seems you are very sad for yourself, your stuff and money and things, than your father's state, which you mention briefly. May God have mercy.robthelad
- This post gave me the urge to call my mom and ask how she's doing. I'm sorry you're going through this, mate. Sending love.Gucci
- Sorry to hear. I've been there. It's a hard state, but just take one day at a time. One breath at a time. It will get better.Melanie

I don't do this often because there's so many homeless in LA and NY and I can't be a bleeding heart helping them all when I have to help myself and my own family. It's going to be a tight holiday for my fam. My roommate lost his job and I'm looking for a new gig, too. We may have to move in a really inopportune time.
After leaving a writers group in Hollywood this afternoon, this man called out to the group of us walking by for lunch, "Water!" He sounded like he was just emerging from a desert. We did walk a block away for lunch but it was an uncomfortable lunch after hearing that. t I couldn't get it out of my head, that one stuck with me. He didn't ask for money or even food. He asked for water. On our walk back, we all carried cups of water from the restaurant and set it by him and then we walked into the nearby CVS and bought more water in bottles, gator aid, tuna in tabbed open cans, pita chips and peanut free energy bars. I had a few more random things in my car I knew I wasn't going to eat -- 2 granola bars and an unopened bottle of water. We all put it in a bag and left it by the man. I think all in all he ended up with at least a few days of nonperishable food.
There was something about a man just asking for water because he was too far gone to be allowed into a business for a free cup of water anybody else could get that really hit me hard. We should all have those kinds of basics. smh
