BAD DAY IN KENSINGTON A SHORT FILM 

Frank that's my oldest brother. I'm a fan of your channel and been for a while, I just want to thank you for being who you are and trying to help him 🙏 anyone else would record and laugh. So thank you dude I'm going to go down there to try and find him today to make sure he's ok. Thanks again for being you❤💯

I watched this the day Frank did it an I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. I have told lots of people mostly clinicians in methadone programs to watch this on RU-vid morals of the money, bad day in Kensington for learning purposes. I got phone calls back within hours of how much this can help other patience. To the man that is in this video ( Brother I love you an you are loved by many many people whether you know it or not.I wish you nothing but happiness,love an caring in your life.) I had used for about 11 years and it was ugly for the last 3.The very first time I was handed a bag of Fentanyl was the last day of using!!! Why some of you might ask? I knew in my heart that I would die because of that shit.That was 2015. I hope anyone who is on Heroin or Fentanyl that they find the will to stop using before they pass away from this awful shit. Take care all, Kevin

Honestly Frank you are a real dude who cares about addict's like myself and I wanna say thank you

God bless you for the help you provide. Genuine & so kind. If only more people could open their hearts to save these children

I thought it looked like flakka maybe but you are right.. You just don't know. Stay safe and thank you for your care and concern 🙏

People just drive by like it's no big deal. It's sad that this is the new norm We are totally numb as a society.

Your videos are deeply moving and inspirational. I hope you know that these videos definitely make a difference.

And through all of this. How are you doing Frank? Are you Okay? I can see the stress and concern in your face brother. Keeping you in my prayers at all times. Keep doing gods work bro.

Whenever I see someone like that I always call for an ambulance. So far they've always got taken to the hospital. I always stop if I know its safe. So far I've seen two people in the neighborhood where I work that I helped doing good now thank God. I see one he works in a store he don't remember me and I don't let it be known it was me. The other is doing good to he works up at a gas station again, he don't remember me from that night either and thats ok, I just say hi and tip him well. Thank you for trying to help him Frank.

Frank I just want to say thank you to all that you do every day. For all that you make light of and not a way as to harm or be little those on the bottom. I also struggled with addiction for for multiple decades have my kids taken still wasn't enough it takes for people dying around you sometimes that isn't enough it was enough for me. I had had enough!!!! And I just want to say I hope God blesses you and everything you hold thee to you just for the things that you do everyday by helping people and making light of this other Pandemic we have called addiction!!! After watching this video it honestly makes me wanna go out and do the same thing you do I wish I had the means the means to help as much as you do. However walking down the road if I saw that man I'd probably asked him if I could have helped him the same way you did when I tried again the same way you did and I think by letting him know you understood his pain and that you've been there is what finally allowed in the allowed You to help him. I again just want to thank you for what you do everyday Do you have one great question now the state destiny was in is there not ambulances that would show up to pick people up that we're in this condition I mean just Hi I get it they don't bother buthey don't bother but in the condition that hes in I see it a lot in your videos honestly and it doesn't look like there's a whole lot of emergency intervention going on. Don't think people realize that this actually goes on in America where there is actually an open air market and that the cops do not give a fuck they can't be bothered. That's why I think it takes over so much it looks so bad. But he is in clear need of medical attention is medical attention before he hurts himself or gets hit by a car If there's any way you could kind of post an update if you end up getting one I know that's here today gone tomorrow you may never see this man ever again but but if you do end up trying to post an update greatly appreciated and again thank you king frank for everything you do everyday. Amor de rey!

King Frank this was well done , so crazy .......tomorrow is not promised

Thank you for all the positive things you do

YOU TRUELY ARE AN ANGEL 😇🙏 AND A VERY GOOD INFLUENCE IT'S SO HARD TO SEE THESE PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THIS BUT THANK YOU FOR BRINGING AWARENESS OUT TO EVERYONE STAY SAFE GOD BLESS 🙏❤️🌹👍

Thank you for your videos sharing with us . I hope this young man is ok and safe 🙏

I used to see my aunt. My dad's sister has been out on the streets of Portland since she's been young. She would yell at any family that would try to walk up and help. So we let her be. She ended up dying at 60 something on the street. But she said she was happy so I do understand how you wanna help so bad but sometimes you just cant.

I too work at a substance abuse facility been around this culture almost 40 years been addicted, now over 30 years clean and staying strong, became a license counselor and have dedicated my life and time to helping my people out there. Stay positve and keep trying

You’re an angel walking the earth.

Respect to all from Australia. In my thoughts and prayers

This is rough. The shelter and free clinic saved my life. If y’all are going through it, get help. It ain’t worth it man. Get help.

Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Absolutely heartbreaking 💔

Blessings and praise to king Frank and Queen Rachel.

My HEART IS TRULY HEAVY 💖

Hey brother you have a great heart ❤️ god bless you man. I believe a lot of people see that and it scares them. I’m glad your able to help

Do they not remember what they just went through? How long will that last? He's a good-looking guy. Why on earth would anyone want to go through that? It's heartbreaking to watch.

It's always a bad day in Kensington SMH

I'm not laughing or judging. I'm crying for him

I know addiction,and this is exactly what I look like when I have a RLS attack,Restless Leg Syndrome. In withdraw it can take you over,Bad Bad stuff.

So after bein 12min into ur video....I gta post a comment...I do this alot bc Sumtimes I forget wat all I wanna say by end of video! 🤦 I'm going be very honest with u I jus started watching all these channels like urs abt 8mon ago back around end of last summer. I've watched alot of peoples channels w RU-vid videos of drugs/people on drugs.(also subscribed) I've seen alot of channels with videos that jus broke my heart with sum of the stories😪...even sum made me "tear up & even cry." 😭 But "this video rite here really was hard for me to watch," 💔😳 it was so hearbreaking.😢 I think one reason was bc I have 2 sons & he luks around same age as my oldest maybe even same age as my youngest. Idk he luks young😲....my oldest will be 30yo & my youngest 22yo bt he luks in age close around those. I really hope he gets help...I'm at such a loss for words💔😱 Btw...I think ur such "AWSOMMMMME" person 💓 to take time out of ur day to stop ur car & try to help him 🤗 even if he did decline 😢🤦...that shows how big of a heart u have 💙❤💙❤💙❤...not too many people will do that!!!!!!👏👏👏 (((((hugs to you))))))

Ok, this young man with the pants around his ankles broke my heart. I am honestly crying. Thank you for helping him and treating him with kindness and dignity. God bless both of you.

I work in a treatment facility in New York and I see the pain and sorrow every day. I have dedicated my life to helping and understanding what has led these tormented souls to this point. The key word is tormented, 93% of my patients have severe trauma that has pushed them to this point. The kindness and support you give to this community is probably the only kindness they have had in a very long time. God bless you and what you have accomplished in your life and the ability to help those in need. Much respect to you.

Doesn't cost nothing to show a bit of human kindness. Just one man - who's been there - to another. More power to you Frank.

The anguish on his face is heartbreaking. It's like he's trying to escape himself but he's stuck. May God deliver him from his demons and give him the strength to overcome this.

Wow frank ! This is damn sad and as a old block hustler , I am giving back through cutting hair for the homeless to help them in anyway possible to feel good about them selfs and give back for the evil that I have done not knowing any better ! Thanks for your work and trying to tell these stories for ppl who can’t help them selfs at the moment , god bless you my man ❤

A very wise person said something to me once that has stuck with me forever. He said, “Whatever you judge you become.” It’s the realist thing I’ve ever heard. Don’t judge. Wisdom, compassion, empathy & prayer is what’s necessary 🙏🏽✨

It’s like a dance of despair

I can almost feel his tension when I see the look on his face. I bet every inch of this man's body is sore and worn. Bless you Frank and what you do. The world needs more people like you.

This is absolutely heartbreaking!!

In Poland, when someone sees a man in such a state, he calls the ambulance or the police and she calls the doctor. With us, everyone has the right to medical care, hospital stay, surgery, rehabilitation. Every! And with you? I know that you are not for free. You can see that man cannot cope with reality. Nobody will take care of it with you. He will never come out of it. And you know it.

So sad 😞 I don’t understand how the drug dealers selling the garbage that has this young man tormented like that, I don’t know how they’re able look at themselves in the mirror. There doing the Devils work, destroying lives👿 Your heart is in the right place, Phily’s lucky to have you, keep doing wat ur doing bro, God Bless you & may he keep his angels around you to protect you😇

Hi from New Zealand. You are a kind decent man Frank. I live in a country where we have no tents, encampments or any sick people struggling to survive in the streets. The US needs more people like you. Wishing you all the best.

The hardest thing I’ve ever done was being an opioid addict. 16 years ago, when prescription opioids were still cheaper, I would hustle all day, even while employed to support my habit. Worked hard to avoid the withdrawal, which was worse than the worst flu times a million. Quitting was 2nd hardest thing at that time, but has since become easier, being sober for 16 years. People say, “ why would anyone want to live like that” , for they have no clue, as people don’t choose this at this point, choice is made by ur addiction. These people are worth no less than a doctor, teacher, lawyer, parent, son, sister etc. way we deal with illness like this needs to change, instead of ignoring them like you don’t see the pain.

Frank I’ve lost a family member with drug addiction, I thank you for your care, your an amazing man , we never expected to go through the pain of losing a 40 year old kind and a beautiful soul, because of drugs. We judge none of them, but we pray for them. Your a kind and caring man , thank you from our hearts . X ❤️😪😢😪😢

This video is a great teaching moment for kids. Show them this with compassion in your voice and how you talk about him so when they come across it in life and all their friends are pointing and laughing they are the ones that offer to help instead.

I know it's probably the Norm to alot of people out there, but it's so sad to see so many people walk/ drive past this guy all looking at him but not one person stopped to check on him apart from Frank! Thank you for all you do for these people, keep up the good work you do.

This is why I continuously pray for everyone. AMEN !!! Philadelphia USA

Frank, you just do your thing in helping these people. Don't worry about what anyone else does. This film is very impactful, dramatic, and extremely well-done. Your personality shows through and that is very interesting and poignant to the storyline. You should do more of these short films; you have your own unique talent and to many people you talking to the camera really adds immense interest and humanity and compassion to this film.

Frank can I ask you when did this video take place? This is a good friend of mine over a decade. This is so heartbreaking. This brought tears to my eyes. I am so worried about him. This is not the only video of him like this. So it seems to me he has been stuck like this for days. I think he truly needs medical attention. The crazy thing is he was clean and just relapsed so I'm thinking that because of this is why he is getting the reaction he got. I do not want him to die down there. Can you please tell me when did this take place. I would like to see if I can find him so I can possibly get him out of there and to get some help. He needs the help I never seen him like this before. It literally looks like he is stuck in a trip amd has been in this trip for few days now. Please respond to me.

Sou brasileira e que triste ver essas cenas.. Um cara bonito, espero que ele encontre a cura e tenha um vida feliz. Na torcida aqui. 🙏🏾🤍

Taki piękny młody człowiek. Łzy same lecą. Boże pomóż 😢🙏

ÇOK KORKUNÇ BİR DURUM ÇOK ÜZÜCÜ😔😔 GENÇLERİ BU DURUMA GETİREN UYUŞTURUCU MADDELERİN TİCARETİNİ YAPAN HERKESE LÂNET OLSUN.. DÜNYADAKİ TÜM KÖTÜLÜKLER ONLARI BULSUN 😠

Whoa, that camera clicking noise is very obnoxious. It really does bother my ears. Can you please try not to use it in any other videos. At least not straight through like that one or two clicks OK I get it but wow this is too much

De todos los vídeos de Philadelphia este me partió 💔 😢, tan joven este muchacho, simpático pudiendo lograr todo ... la vida lo hecho a su suerte y la mentablemente lo puso con las personas equivocadas, dios lo bendiga 🙏🏻 🙌

She says, "maybe God did that so he couldn't run and hurt himself." That sounds right on. Such awesome work, Frank. It's a bottomless problem, isn't it. Good bless you both 🙏💯

Me da mucha tristeza ver a esta persona en este estado tan deprimente,ya que no parece ser un hijo de la calle,ojalá hubiesen más personas como usted, para ayudar un poco más 😔

I learned that all the times i have said "i am having a bad day",i really wasnt... Prayers for this man,i hope he one day can look back at this montage as a reminder of how bad he HAD it!

Im an ex addict and from across the pond and I salute you for your compassion and your sense of humanity.

when u got no love , no money, no home, your depressed, no friends, no family, poverty, no food,, honesty what is left, not everyone can pull it together mate. when all is lost what do u do, get clean first of all,, yea right, good work frank this realy gets people thinking, Australia calling, i was picked up off the street my the salvation army, they saved my life, i am 100% Clean and have never looked back until i saw this video, this tripped me out,

Frank. Thanks for bringing awareness to the Fentanyl problem,my son od on Fentanyl in 2017 at the start of free Narcan, but he didn't get his yet and Sur come to the F. From Detroit. Everything is tainted here. My son had coke and Fentanyl in him. It's really sad to see other people's kids in active addiction like this. I cry & pray. Bless your heart for all you do. Thank you💜

💔 thank you for giving these ppl a voice. I also had a family member die homeless and drug addicted on the streets. Drugs stole home from us, he was a bright kid, college educated, and got trapped in his own hell on skid row. Breaks my heart to see how many of these people are treated/ignored. Every single one of them is loved/cherished by someone. If only love could cure an addict..: Thanks Frank & family for showing these lost souls that people still do care. ❤️

Frank thank you for being out there and bringing awareness and opening up one mind. My g-son turned me on to your channel. I watched many but for some reason this one hit me bad. I can not believe this here in the UNITED STATES. B4 he got locked up he would show me and I thought this was in another country. I AM in recovery worked with many alcoholic addicts yet I have not experienced or seen any body like this in real life till this last summer a few and there were on the streets. I even got scared cause I thought some thing was wrong with them or they would fall and hurt themselves. I Pray for the people. We have no right to judge any body or talk them down you never know when this type situation can hit home or some one you love. My g-son said maybe when he gets out that he could possibly work with the young ones doing some thing like Frank does he says to me. I pray for him to change he has a good heart and I believe god has a plan for him and what you do I’m sure you are in the minds of other like my g-son to help other’s and for other’s to see the reality and try to understand and comprehend the reality of this type of life. Thank you God bless you keep you safe and your family. Milwaukee Wisconsin

Frank, I'm a recovering addict (8 years now) and I REALLLY want to get into helping people or even working in a treatment center. My line of work right now is just not for me and it's killing me mentally. I KNOW that helping fellow addicts is my calling. If you can refer me to any type of ways to get into this, please reply. I live in Cambria County PA...

Thanks! After watching this video I see this as a metaphor for life; You helped him pull his pants back up but because there was no button at the top they fell down again around his ankles and once again he was stuck unable to successfully maneuver. The key to me is to treat everyone as human beings with compassion and caring but if the system is broken people will remain stuck.

Breaks my heart Frank!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️💞💞💞💋💋👍🏽👍🏽 Prayers to this kid and prayers to you and your beautiful family Frank!!!

So sad to see this,the government should take these kinds of people into a treatment centre 😥😥😥

Whosoever shall call upon the name of The Lord shall be saved.

i was homeless out in kensington last year due to my heroin addiction (i am now almost 7 months sober)

Maybe he will see this video of himself and be motivated to seek help.

I salute you frank 👏 I was on herion for 10 years almost died 3 or 4 times got tired and have been clean for 3 years

God bless you Frank ! Every bottom has a trap door, it breaks my heart. Every human deserves a chance. 🙏

Frank, you’re doing the Lord’s work here and it’s important that the world must know of this. Be careful out there …

Ces un video tres dur a regarder car on y voit tellement de souffrance que cet homme ressent. Je lui souhaite vraiment de devenir sobre. Ces le plus beau des cadeaux qu'il pourrait se faire.

Frank….. you and Rachael are SO AMAZING to the people of Kensington. Truly you both are angels in a dark place !! You both have such huge hearts ♥️!!

A true hero! Thanks Frank for your relentless pursuit in providing your time and service to these lost souls. ❤️

Cruda realidad a qué viven estas personas, deberían ayudarlas y acabar con los que venden y distribuyen esta droga. Muchas vidas tiradas a la basura y los distribuidores millonarios. Greetz from Spain

Amen Brother. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I feel your calls for Unity and Love. I am You, You are Me, We are One❤️ Please keep doing what you are doin, just the way you do The only way to dispell the darkness is to bring forth the light ✌️

Автор очень добрый, солнечный человек. Невероятная теплота идет от вас, даже через экран телефона . Желаю вам здоровья и человеческого счастья. А этого парня жаль конечно, не пихал бы себе в рот всякую гадость, не валялся бы на асфальте, просто полное безумие.

Dam my brother just passed away he never did it in his life but was giving to him with out him knowing.

Thank you, Frank, and God Bless you, your Family and the homeless and addicted in Kensington 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I work for an organization that provides support for homeless veterans and I see what heroin and morphine abuse does to these veterans on a daily basis. I cannot imagine what life must be like for these poor people who call Kensington home. You have a brilliant channel here. Keep up the good work. One of these days the worm will turn!

Wow he looks like Corp America! My vision just like you assist as much as possible!

表現が不適切か適切か分からないけど、 人が壊れていってしまっている様子を見るのは辛い😢そして見守り助けられる貴方は素晴らしい。みんなが救われてほしい。

My heart goes out to my brothers and sisters. 🙏😢

I worked in the center of Boston and had never seen a person who had taken these drugs. A woman walked passed me, dropped her purse, and kept walking. She then bent over with her arms dangling and didn’t move. I had absolutely no idea what was wrong with her. I called 911 and said that someone just fell unconscious. The ambulance came. The EMTs saw what the issue was and laughed. I asked them “What’s so funny?” And told them to help her. They just didn’t care and said that they see it all the time and that if I’m working there I should get used to it. Say what?!?! They didn’t even check her out. They got back in the ambulance and drove off. I picked up her purse and guided her to a soft spot in the grass. I sat with her a couple of hours until she could get up and be steady in her feet. This video breaks my heart. I’m here because a friend’s son is missing and she thinks he’s in Kensington. About a year ago my nephew went missing and he was found in Kensington. I have no answers. But I know that we can do better. The fact is that every person in that community just walks by this tortured soul as if it’s normal. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! There is so much very wrong with this. Thank you for your kindness and the creation of this video. I hope it will inspire someone to make some needed changes.

Frank how long does one have this frantic activity after the initial ingestion of the drug? Back when I was on Heroin Back in the 80s 90s and early 2000s before Feddy and this other crazy stuff was mixed in I just would nod off of fall completely out as if I was asleep!!! I couldn't imagine waking up after an episode like this poor gentleman! I'm 51 and dude I've done everything across the board Meth,crack,lsd, mushrooms, dmt, Heroin man you name it but I'd run as fast as I possibly could to the first rehab I could find if I EVER saw myself act like this!!!! My heart breaks for these people!!! My God how sad! I avoid Kensington if possible now going into fishtown

Meanwhile in the white house Joe Bidet and Marie Antoinette are to busy for even contemplating finishing the wall

Thank you for not judging. My scholar athlete only daughter who had the best of everything died from a fentanyl overdose. Drugs do not discriminate. I want to do something more than tell my daughter's story.

I'm so thankful for people like you Frank. Truly a blessing. And luckily there wasn't any other people out there. Someone would have tried to beat him up just for having his pants down. Not knowing that he couldn't get them up without help.

It’s ravaging Los Angeles streets as well. I’m in my 12th year of recovery. I felt his pain. I was smoking an upper and once up for 6 days. I finally took a shower and looked down and couldn’t understand why the water was black. I was filthy and I had an apartment and managed to keep my steady job. Thanks Frank. My best friend died on 11/25/21. He slammed speed and was homeless. He was only 44. I left him around 2012 due to myself getting sober. As you know, your simple intervention of caring and understanding goes a long way. Most people don’t understand if they haven’t been there and are scared or just feel they can’t do anything. Finally, again you and I know a quick intervention could be lifesaving. You just never know. I completely understand your efforts and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Unfortunately what we had to go through makes us perfect to do outreach. We’ve been there. Done that. And we realize that one small minute of time may spark hope when we approach to intercede in some way, shape or form. Peace and Blessings always to you.🙏

Love the video but please never put that camera shutter sound in any other video 😳🙉

Pobre hombre tan jòven perturbado incapaz de ponerse bien el pantalón lleno de demonios perturbando su mente, rescaten ese muchacho tiene padr o e madre o hermano o amigo no lo dejen allí, busquenlo, está sufriéndo demasiado, Dios bendecirá ese acto de amor, es una obra de bien al prójimo.😇😇Dios mío despierta ese hombre dale luz a su vida, con tu infinita misericordia te lo pido mi señor, amén🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Ur girl is such an angel. Its like here goes frank again to help. Poor Rachel prolly cant go to the corner store without stoppin a few times to help. You guys are true helpers and angels thank you..much love from Harrisburg

Qué buen trabajo haces hermano y les deseo lo mejor a cada una de estas personas ❤👍🏻🙏

So heartbreaking and he is handsome! I started to cry when I heard Rachel say maybe it is happening cause God wants it to happen so he won’t run. Thank you for being an angel on earth Frank.

Frank you are decent bloke kindness costs nothing. Best wishes for 2022. Mark

Que bueno sería que hablaras en español!!

really really sad. this young guy was someone very precious baby once upon a time. good looking young guy. and now he's on the road. i will say a prayer for him. thanks bro for reaching out to him and trying to help. him. take care.

Yesssss Rachel, I agree with you! "Maybe God is doing that for a reason and best he can't run" 🙏💚💙🙏

That is so sad beautiful young people and there lives destroyed. They are all somebody’s son or daughter

Once again frank thank you for being you the world needs you angels come in many forms ❤
