As a mother of a gay son who suffers with mental illness and addiction I am extra close to Rebecca. My son is only 28 years old and has contracted HIV . He is in and out of jail since the young age of 18 . He refuses to take medication that will slow down the HIV and help him function and carry on a more normal life . Its been a long hard battle but Im thinking hes allot like Rebecca , tired and burned out on his life choices . They are both in my thoughts and prayers . I pray Rebecca does make it home to Mama . I am alwys here for my son as well , no matter what my friends say about him being an adult and tha I should leave him alone to figure it out ...NOPE sometimes we just need to be there no matter how old or sick they become . Hes my baby and I wont ever give up. Where there is life there is HOPE.

[@queensheebah8628]

Hang in there with your baby. I’m sure when he’s older he will say “look how far I came, because she didn’t give up on me .” This hurts my heart so much. This baby is sober and depression is hard. People don’t understand how hard it is. Mental illness will make you throw yourself away. He’s too young for this. I want this baby and your baby to find their way home.

I cried and laughed simultaneously when Mark said "how you doing" She said "terrible but I'm wearing a vintage prada" classic Rebecca response. She loves her fashion daaaarling. 💃 I pray that she finds her way home, and by home I mean back to her former self without all of the drugs and bad experiences she has had. I've seen how Mark has helped people he has interviewed and I truly hope that one day we will see Rebecca clean and off the streets. Mark you are a wonderful man and I send you so much love for doing everything you can to help people. Thank you. 💚 Drug and alcohol addiction is a disease and many people don't take the time to understand that. I hate seeing judgemental and ignorant comments, but there will always be those negative minds in the world. It's a shame they can't see a human instead of the label.

[@redrum4139]

Its hard. I had a bad falling out with my crack head brother. He said real ugly things to me and it made it so easy to let him go. Wks past and he messaged he was hungry. I asked where I can have food delivered and he said there's no address bc he had been sleeping on the streets. I was still heartless but I agreed to take him food on my lunch break. I broke down when I saw him. The drugs made this 40 yr old man look like a thin little boy. I couldn't go back to work knowing he didn't have a place to sleep. I got him a month at a hotel paid and when I say I went through hell and back to get him sober again, would be an understatement. It was brutal. He finally got clean, moved to a diff state and has a great gf. Sometimes, they need that 1 person to not give up, even though they've given up. That 1 person can always make a difference.

[@robertpace901]

@@wesleyalan9179 it's profitable for Rebecca to avail herself to Mark. She made that apparent at the end of the interview, that she abruptly ended. When I saw my first video of Rebecca I was taken by her Innocence but she's not really innocent and the reason she moves around the city so much is probably because she's running from petty crimes she's committed. I lived in a city with a huge homeless population. Many homeless stake out a territory they stay in. They become part of the local color. Many local residents and businesses look out for them. But the transient part of the homeless community are more mobile because they become known for their petty property crimes, hence they move around to avoid the homeless they've ripped off or to avoid being picked up by the police for a property crime. There's little to no trustworthiness on the streets. Also, the young homeless tend to create families and they can be quite ruthless even violent, especially to older homeless people.

Her tears made me want to reach through my TV & give her THE BIGGEST HUG. She seems to have such a vibrant personality usually inspite of her circumstances.

Mark, this is such a painstakingly beautiful opening that you curated for Rebecca. You two have such a special bond & I know you will keep us updated on her as often as you can.

[@kellydunigan6232]

I loved seeing exactly how joyful Rebecca got at the sight of Mark. Mark, thank you for being a light for those who often experience nothing but darkness. My gratitude for what you do comes from my own experience of living in that black hole, even now coming up on my 6th anniversary of sobriety, it never goes away and it just follows closely beside me waiting for the moment that I will give up and invite it cover me and swallow again. Treatment for addiction is a medical and mental necessity for the lifetime of an addict and should not be discontinued at anytime because treatment of an addict to live in sobriety is just as important as the insulin that a diabetic must have daily. Thanks Mark and to the extended crew that I know must be there in the background, you all must be amazing people to recognize that these people are worthy of help and even just the respect they receive while in your presence as a normal human being even if just for a short period of time.
