Your Helpful Neighbor Since 1996

I have an antique cherry table here as described on the one label written by my dad many years ago. It's 41 in long and 21 inches tall. As you can see it is missing one leaf on the table but I do have it next to the table. Hinges are still there. If you'd be interested, let me know. It needs a home very quickly.

It is a common misconception that cleaning up Kensington's homeless population would solve the drug-purchasing problem within the community. However, this is...

I would appreciate your prayers while I am visiting the amazing people in Kensington.

There were three people who I was specifically trying to find today in kensington. I did see one from a distance but could not catch up to them when I looped around the corner.

The other one I found under the bridge and we had a nice talk.

The other one I did not see at all.

Please do pray specifically for these three and all the others who are suffering so much on the streets of Kensington.

The most amazing communication that I have day in and day out or with the individuals who have managed to survive the insane hell, literal hell of the streets of Kensington. There's no reason why these individuals should be exposed to such Medical malpractice incompetencies and yet they are day in and day out.

When we put up the excuse that they are simply not ready for care. We are comparing their current situation with the fallacies of the Reagan administration when everybody was saying just say no. These two statements are obvious cousins in the process of destroying these human beings who would much rather put their addictions aside and get real care.

I have lost treasured friends due to this incompetence and my fight for survival for those have remained will continue. I need your help.

I have two and maybe three complete sets of the William Barkley Daily Bible study series available to anyone who may be interested.

This is an amazingly detailed study of the entire Bible and very well written. Considered a classic.

Please contact me to learn more.

I welcome your prayers while I am visiting Kensington today.

I'm traveling late today. Cases of water over ice and my dignity honor respect cards are what I'm handing out.

"Just say no." and "They're not ready yet." are cousins in the incompetence of understanding of what drug addiction is all about.

I was just told by a Christian, well supposedly christian, friend that I am completely wasting my time in Kensington because those people just don't really want to care. This individual has now excommunicated me from his group of friends and so I can tell you this.

The individuals on the streets are our literal neighbors. They are inspirational human beings. They are made in the image of God. They are worthy of the highest dignity and honor and respect and love.

They are patients of a medical diagnosis of which our society does not totally understand. Substance use disorder does not fit neatly inside the box of medical diagnosis. It is for this reason that 90% of all the women on this streets of Kensington are 100% reliant on providing sexual services men. 70% of all the men on the streets of Kensington are 100% reliant on that 90% of women. Therefore, all numbers being equal, 80% of all the people on the streets of Kensington are 100% reliant on prostitution to provide funding to buy the drugs for the addiction that they would rather not have.

It would make far more sense for the medical community to get its act together at the Medicaid level and take a close look at what is causing people to sign out on the surface of the issue, against medical advice.

We must think far beyond the standard box of Medical treatments for this medical disease.

My former Facebook friend sees the issue as completely within the realm of patients with a disease who should simply say no to that disease. President Reagan's attempts way back when followed that line of thinking and were proven inaccurate.

And so let us look way outside the box of how to handle a disease process and come up with real solutions so as to save the lives of our sons and daughters and best friends and husbands and wives and mothers and fathers.

I would appreciate your prayers while I am in Kensington for the next couple of hours visiting these amazing people.

My indoor Memorial Rose garden continues to celebrate the life of my spiritual daughter Beba Maldonado .

34 weeks after you went home to your Savior, we love you and miss you everyday.

441 p.m. 21 weeks ago today you called me screaming hysterically about what the Medicaid level medical facility into which you had trusted your care had done to you. They destroyed you! Before midnight on this night 21 weeks ago today you were dead. You were dead.

Your grandmother was no longer able to ever see her granddaughter.

Your father would no longer see his daughter.

You were dead!

You were dead!

The stunning level of incompetence at the Medicaid level of healthcare to people in your situation has not gone unnoticed. You were a magnificent individual and

Justice will prevail!

Please pray for a miracle in the life of one young man I know who is struggling on the streets of Kensington far more than any of us can totally understand. He lost his best friend, my spiritual daughter, the day before Thanksgiving and he's been struggling ever since. We cannot lose him. God must intervene as only a miracle can do. There's no other option at this point. God must intervene or we will lose him. This cannot happen.

Why do I do what I do in Kensington?

There's lots of answers to that. One of those answers happened today.

I was able to reunite my phone a sister on the street to her sister not on the street. They talked for the first time in at least 3 weeks maybe longer. For the sister not on the street, I know that it was a relief to hear that her sister on the street is still there alive even though she, the sister not on the street, would prefer that her sister on the street not be on the street. And you know what's interesting about that?

The sister who is on the street would rather not be on the street. She cannot seem to find her way out and off the street. That's where the healthcare system comes in. The healthcare professionals must do everything and go overboard in doing so to provide prompt and dignity and respect-filled care in a climate of expediency and thoroughness perhaps more than other disease processes. Why do I say that? The alternative for the patient is far too simple to obtain. In the absence of prompt dignity and respect filled professional care, it's much easier to sign out seemingly ama and go find that little blue bag and continue to do their drugs. And so professionals been detox and hospital and similar settings, recognize that you are the link between that patient and a new life versus that patient and first ever permanent eternal death. Professionals, do everything that you possibly can and add 50% to that to meet the needs of these patients who are in the most horrendous literal civil war within their minds that they will ever experience.

Happy heavenly birthday to you!
Happy heavenly birthday to you!
Happy heavenly birthday, Dana Marie Cassidy !
Happy heavenly birthday to you!

We would rather that you were here dear friend. Since we don't have that option, I am thankful for your amazing committed Faith in your Lord which has given you an eternal place in heaven.

I don't know if they have birthday parties in heaven but if they do, I hope you have a fantastic one. You are loved and missed by everyone you had the privilege of knowing you.

8 years ago I came to know two different mother-daughter combinations who lived on the streets of Kensington. We would talk and share thoughts and I came to know them as the amazing people who they are. The daughter of one of these mother-daughter combinations died about two and a half years ago. Her Mom died a couple of weeks ago. Today I saw them for the first time together in nearly 5 or maybe 6 years. The daughters ashes were in a vessel that I had seen at her funeral about 2 and 1/2 years ago. The mother's ashes were in her vessel which I had not yet seen. And they sat there in front of the funeral gathering side by side. One was the victim of incompetence in the Medicaid system as she sought care and did not receive it. Mom's situation was a bit different. They are now together in the glories of Heaven.

The other mother daughter combination is doing for the most part well but struggling. I am in daily communication with them. Please pray for this surviving pair and please pray that I can be whatever I'm supposed to be to them who I love so very much.
