  • The guy he rescued this morning from overdosing, opened his eyes and asked “who are you?” 100% wondered if he was face to face with Jesus.
  • @HJBX2
    He has a strong aura about him. He’s hurting in the inside so much but have so much love and knowledge to give. I’m wishing him the absolute best.

    It's such a shame when gentle souls like this get swept up in addiction. 13 addicted to pain pills, how can a kid even have a chance? I hope Brandon manages to escape this life, you can tell he's a good person. You deserve better Brandon.
  • I was like oh this guy has same name as me. 6 years clean from fentanyl heroin addiction. He thinks just like me. Anxiety, empathy. I’m lucky to have a nice apartment now, chemistry degree and better life. 31. It is possible to get clean, was hooked since I was 15, all the way to 25
  • As some one who went to school with brandon. I know how tough you are bro, i have complete faith in you. And anything is possible but you know that.
  • It's crazy cause this is how the real story for addicts goes. Word for word. It's sad. His story sounds just like mine. I finally got clean at 31 years old. I'll be 3 years clean in April. I never thought I'd get out but I did and I pray for all addicts to reach recovery and see the beautiful life like I am seeing now cause it is possible it really is. Dont ever feel alone guys there is someone out there that cares. I feel like this guy is the old me sitting in the chair telling his story. Brandon Brother if you read this your loved and you will get clean again and see the beautiful life one day I just know it. Prayers for you
  • Brandon is such a caring person. If his story doesn't touch you, you're numb. Brandon, you're young and it is never too late to change your path. Mark, please do an update!

    I could relate so much … I was homeless living in a tent at MacArthur Park using Fent and Crystal everyday but now have been sober for a year and working 2 jobs so I wish you the best and hope that you find the strength to surrender your addiction and let God restore your mind, body, and spirit !

    Thank you for this interview. Brandon is a very likable guy. I'm praying for him.
  • @leesahpink701
    Brandon really seems like a good person inside. I hope he fights and wins against addiction.
  • @cohrelo
    This channel really shows how a random person from the street could be very interesting and complex if only someone could listen.
  • Someone needs to help this man! For someone who had struggled with addiction as long as he has, he has such a beautiful heart and moving voice! Truly touched!
  • What a great man stuck in a bad situation. Full of profound wisdom
  • @tanyamac8276
    My niece was 21 when she passed from a drug overdose..I hope this sweet young guy finds his way out of this 💩 and lives a long life.. blessings to him ✌️🙏

    Brandon, If you've tried to OD to no avail. It is because you have things to do here. Hearing this, I know that you're going to get clean and change the world. Please get ready to find out who you truly are. You got this! Much Love

    This breaks my heart! I had an opiate addiction as well for years and I'm lucky to be alive. Been clean for about 8 years now, lost my best friend growing up last February. I have a beautiful wife and kids now. I know how it feels having crippling depression and anxiety! I hope this man can find happiness. He seems like a kind soul and I wish nothing but the best for him!
  • I wish I could give this dude a hug. He’s got a lot of potential.
  • @ColoRADbro420
    Man, his story really hits home for me. I hope he can find his way out of this terrible maze
