Crack Addict interview-Quinn 

Give Rebecca's opportunity to this guy. He deserves it.

Having terrible parents just absolutely screws people over.

Man I got injured at 22 years old on a construction site I cut half my hand off. It sent me into years of addiction after the doctors prescribed tons of pain pills and I couldn't work. You're not alone brother. I got clean and now I'm a general contractor and life is good. It's never to late to get back on your feet.

When he said he wanted to see his sister again and tell her he loved her before he died, that hit me hard. This man is very insightful, smart, and just real. Wish someone could set him up with a place to stay and a job. He has skills, and he wants to work. Pulling for you, sir. Hugs!

Your parents sure missed out on the incredible human you are 😢

I think hes one of the few people people who over the years has maintained a deep sense of kindness and simple decency. Inside he still has a sensitive nature

Oh my god even in his worst state this man looks so handsome!! Takes an amazing photograph ❤

This guy really touched my heart, I hope he finds sobriety and his sister. ❤

This guy breaks my heart. He's so handsome, so insightful, and has such a beautiful manner about him. ❤️

Personally this guy is my absolute favorite person so far on here. He's just different to me he is actually determined and is uber smart in multiple aspects considering his horrible background. Much love and respect to this man

Quinn is beautiful. Inside and out. You can tell how genuine and kind his heart is. I hope we hear from him again, but in better circumstances.

Give Quinn Rebecca's opportunity, I bet he would really turn his life around ❤

This man is intelligent and sensitive. A perfect example of someone who could easily have avoided the streets if the U.S. provided proper mental healthcare Being abused by your mother as a child is hard to get over on your own, so in lieu of therapy, drugs help.

What a great guy. Handsome too. Hope he can recover someday. So much potential. He has a good heart

Another broken child made it to adulthood… 😢

He is beautiful ❤️ I am a trauma RN and he is absolutely telling the truth. The Dr’s do not give pts a choice, it’s always try to save the limb, when the patient could have the amputation and prosthetic in place and walking on it, in the time it takes for the infection of injured limb to clear. It is sad.

This one really, really hurt. If you see this Quinn: there's mad love for you everywhere.

My heart goes out to this man. May he find how truly amazing he is & worthy of a wonderful life and love abundantly. God bless him.

"i was my mom's punching bag" relatable. hope i don't end up homeless

What a precious guy. So intelligent. Beautiful bright eyes. I wish all the good for him. Greetings from Finland.

I could see this man start over if he was given a chance. Hope someone will give him a chance. He seems like an intelligent and sweet soul, god bless him

'Homeless not toothless' is a charity helping the homeless get teeth. I know it's a small help if you were homeless,but you could have your favourite food again. God bless you❤️🙏❤️

I’d love to hear more of this mans story and more of what he has to say about life. He’s a pillar of integrity

Give this guy rebecca’s Florida rehab. PLEASE

The theme always is bad childhoods and lack of love for yourself, which is why I’m trying so damn hard to give my son as best a childhood as possible and teaching him to care about his heart, his self.

Wish I could give this guy a hug

I'm rooting for this man, he deserves some break, would love see update on him.....

Quinn you are so eloquent and smart, I could listen to you talk all day. I wish you all the best going forward, with your smarts you could do anything.

I hope Mark gets the chance to do a follow-up. He’s my favorite person interviewed so far. His life isn’t over, there’s time left yet to turn things around and I’m rooting for him.

heartbreaking story. obviously a giant of a man in emotional depth and sheer courage never to fall down and break into bits. few people can walk with these shoes. I wish him the best.

He reminds me of Willem Dafoe. Take care Quinn, understand the acts of your parents (who were probably trying to live with their own demons) would never want this life for you either. You are loved regardless and have people routing for you.

Teeth are everything man. Get your teeth fixed. You’ll look like and feel better. Love yourself. Your a good man.

Please help him! He’s such a good man!!

This man should write a book about his life. I hope at some point he finds something stable which doesn't backfire on him. He truly deserves some peace in his life. I don't blame him for turning to drugs, but it's a waste and he truly deserves better for himself. He's worked harder than most.

He should be on SSI. He's a good guy and has a good heart. I feel so sad that his mother just left him. I don't understand how a mother could do that and never look back. His wife left him and I'm sure he may think that every woman will. He has to have trust issues after two women abandoned him then his sister dies. He didn't deserve anything he's been through. You hear stories like his and can't help but think damn why did that have to happen to a good man like him. He needs something good to happen to him for a change. Many many blessings to this man

I know mark helps a lot of people and I really really hope he is in a position to find Quinn some help, he seems like he is ready to get his life back

I never got hugged either, now I’m a hugging maniac! I’m so so sorry!😢

This man definitely deserves another chance, I hope to see him do well 🤞

This story was captivating and all the more tragic and heartbreaking. I found myself catching onto every word and not missing a beat. He’s honest with himself and his situation. He deserves a life that he is truly happy with and I hope that he can finally reach that light at the end of the tunnel. Please give us more updates on Quinn in the future! I would love to see more from him.

I wish him the best. Good guy. Just had it tough for so long.

Mark is there a way to get this man an appt and new tools. I don't want to give him money cause of his crack issue. But a home and the tools for a job might be pretty cool. What if he leaves the tools at your place for accountability? He has to check them in and out? I feel there is hope for him.

He should model beautiful man

Quinn’s a diamond in the rough.. Having been failed and hurt by those he loved most, and the constant struggles and disappointments he’s weathered in life thus far, he remains, like a miracle, a profoundly loving, reflective, courageous, and kind man.. Wishing you the best, Quinn.. God knows, you deserve it.💜🤍💜

These videos really humble me daily, thanks Mark

He deserves better. :( God please help him find a way to people who can help him.

This man is a good man who has been dealt a shitty deck :( I really hopes someone helps him to get back on his feet. His heart is tender and you can tell he is exhausted from trying over and over again. He needs some love and respect.

I’m struggling with crack addiction, I’m cutting down the grams I take daily but I fear for the withdrawal symptoms that’s beginning to hit me gradually. Words of encouragement 😢

It's amazing how 1 bad (accident) can change the trajectory of your life. He is such a hard worker and when you take that away from a man it's so destroying. I see you my guy. ❤

He said he doesn't feel stuck, because he is ok with his situation. Self awareness and not being in denial is so important on the road to recovery

It’s so sad & unfortunate he never experienced love as a child & didn’t have stability. Obviously he’s an intelligent man - with so much potential!!! And I can see he is a good man deep down & has a big heart & it pains him to hurt others in any way. He’s clearly dealing with a great amount of emotional pain & depression - which is really weighting him down & I think it’s part of why he’s still living on the streets PLUS he has _no one_ to turn to to help get him back on his feet, it’s evident he truly wants to try & get away from this lifestyle he’s been living for 10+ years. And seemingly he was able to keep getting work of some sort until the law took his truck with everything he owned to help him make a living (which it does seem he got F’d over, at least with the parole situation) & then with all his tools being stolen he was forced to become homeless…. He’s been through SO much to still be alive & managing to get by the best he can. I’m going to pray for Quinn that he’s able to somehow find his way out of the life he’s been living for far too long (& seemingly has ended up where he is partially because those in authority F’d him over.) Ultimately, I pray he finds some sense of peace after all he’s endured…. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

wow, what a portrait! i've not even pressed play yet. must be one of your fave portraits to date @Soft White Underbelly?

Quinn, you are amazing! You are a beautiful person. You didn't deserve a mother and father like you had. You deserve the best, you can follow thru, you can overcome your addiction. You're so smart, please use that knowledge for your own good. Many of us will pray for you and your safety, pray that you realize how amazing you really are!! Much love!!!

This is the result of rejection from a mother😢❤ I hope he finds peace.

He’s a beautiful soul. I’m praying for you, Quinn.

Praying for u quinn you deserve all the love and happiness life has to offer❤

Quinn seems to be a highly intelligent man (who uses the word 'oxymoron' appropriately after using crack? Genius!). A man with extraordinary insight and warmth and empathy and a longing for goodness. I hope he finds his sister and can tell her that he loves her. I hope that he can find just enough love for himself to make the changes that he longs for. Quinn, not that it's any use at all to you, but please know that you have love from an old, complete stranger in England.

I love you Quinn. Your a courageous man for standing up to bullies and punks. Take care of yourself and stay safe.

what a kind soul. I hope he can get it figured out.

I love what you're doing it is amazing how you are bringing awareness and putting a real face to the many you surah with. However, this man just pretty much begged at the end how he does not want this life anymore. Please offer him the help you offered, Rebecca. This man wants it, Rebecca doesn't.

My mom is Covert Malignant Narcsissit. I understand this guy sooo much! Wish I could give him a big bro hug!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️

I say once more.. Addiction is the stealer of dreams and the shackle from freedom; A smiling monster that makes you feel safe and loved when you are anything but. Seductive and charming it prays on the damage of your past as it lures you into it’s blissful belly, slowly digesting you while you dance in the delusion of euphoric control. If only these poor people could break free.

He should become an actor he looks like a movie star.

Quinn man I really hope you get back up bro. You have a good heart. You've been through the ringer. Let yourself heal. ❤ Get to an AA meeting where you can surround yourself with people who love helping others

You are so amazing. I’m sorry your mother abandoned you. I’m sorry you have an abandoned wound. This is a result of childhood trauma and most likely intergenerational trauma. I hope you find some peace in this lifetime and love a happy healthy and full life. God Bless You ❤️❤️❤️❤️

What’s a sweet soul. And so handsome. Wish you the best Quinn!

Great interview - Heartbreaking 💔

I love this man, he has such a kind heart.

I’m struggling with an alcohol addiction and even though it is not crack I completely understand this man. Wish I would’ve bro a hug.

Thank you Mark. Please keep in touch with Quinn, I’m hoping his next video will be different in ways where he got help.

The american dream. Opening scene.. Willam dafoe doing this monologue.. Then the story of quinn's life.. 2 best things to happen would be.. Quinn gets a proper pay day.. 2nd thing? Well you decide. Thankyou for sharing your story.. You made so much sense.. Very high functiong on the crack.. All the best brother.. Stay safe.. Mark thats the most effective use of shadow play i have ever seen on here... The balance and depth of the lighting against the backdrop really suits quinn... Thanks gents, this is sadly beautiful.. Peace 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

my father was a heroin addict for the 2/3 of his life, the only periods of time he was sober was when he was a child because he hadn't tried drugs yet and short before he met my mom till his death, i think if he didn't got sober he would really be like Quinn, similar upbringing stories, similar mindset and personality, i wish him the best, it's never too late, definitely not for him, he's a good person

I can't fathom what a person could be thinking when they walk away from their child. My son is the greatest gift I have ever been given.

Thank you for sharing your story.❤

This one hits home for many

You are a good man Quinn! You deserve so much more than life has given you. I hope you get the stability, love, and respect you so clearly deserve ❤

Im praying for you Quinn, I hope you get the help support and love you've always deserved.

I would love to see Quinn with a clean shaved face. He's handsome

Quinn, I hope you make it out my dude. I'll be following along your journey for any updates

What an amazing interview 🌟 Thank You Quinn 🙏💝 I hope You find the way out of there 🤞🙏🕊️💜🕯️ Thank You Mark 🙏😇💗

Thank you for the interview Quinn and SWU

Quinn…I can hear the pain in your voice. You didn’t want your life to be this way. You had everything going for you and once accident changed it all. I pray that you can get in touch with your sister and you also get some help and your life gets better from this point now. ❤❤

This poor soul. I have had a denture since 19, the pain he must be experiencing just from the dental stuff is so sad😩 dental is so fucking expensive😩

First video I've seen where I truly feel he is so exhausted of his choices he may actually do ok if he got help and away from sr. I hope we get an update.

I’ve seen so many of these videos but this guy has really touched me. I’m sorry for the pain you’ve gone through. I hope you can cope with your struggles and maintain resilience ❤

If a human as gifted as he obviously is ends up like that in his old days what does that tell you about our society?

I hope blessings will come your way Quinn. I cannot imagine the pain and frustration he's felt so far in his life.

Quinn I hear your heart. I share my tears with you. I wish you luck with your life and time

Oh Quinn... you've been dealt a really sh!tty hand. But you're a very strong and resilient man. Dig deep. Get yourself out of this hole. I really feel you deserve better. I'll pray for you🌷

I pray for Quinn. He's his worst enemy. Such a shame as he's articulate, self-aware and kind, heartbreaking

Quinn. What a legend. He seems like a great guy... He needs some help. He deserves some help.

I love Quinn!! I see him getting it together and moving far in life, I truly do....please keep trying, Quinn, you have it in you, as long as you have breath in your body, you can do Anything, beautiful soul ❤

He's got so much potential

He is one of the saddest to me because if a few things were different (as opposed to some other others where their either mental illness or just too many bad thing happened can’t excape this )and he was able to stick to his goals he would be able to survive. And now he is too old to really work anymore and hope may be lost. So sad.

I believe Quinn’s inner child of the past needs healing . Such potential, the pain must be dealt with before healing can begin . Prayers uplifted for inner healing ❤️

I am so sorry for you. I had wonderful parents and a great childhood. Every child deserves a good life.

He is one of the few in here that doesn't seem to put the blame on someone or something else for his situation. He sounds like he takes the full responsibility even though he definitely could out some of it on his upbringing or the super bad luck he has had. This makes me think he has a glimmer of hope to get out. I hope the right tools come along to give him that chance. Also at one point when he was talking about his ex wife he said "she had been married before and had a child and he had had many" I kept wondering what that story is. Does he have a lot of kids etc and if so what happened there. This is one I'd like to see a follow up on. Good luck sir. I hooe you manage to take the steps to turn things around. ❤

I truly hope somebody helps him. God bless him! Tough situation, mental torture...

we love you so much - love is waiting for you & you deserve it

This is so sad😢I pray 🙏 this lovely Man gets help and can live his remaining life Happy 😊
