Kimi and Erica reflect on last week's episode with Matty Fiorenza, a first responder grappling with the invisible scars of PTSD. They emphasize the importance of raising awareness and taking inspired action to support the mental and emotional health of our first responders. Kimi shares the backstory of how we discovered Matty and the heartbreaking connection they have in common. A valuable takeaway that resonated with both Erica and Kimi was the idea that help can come from the most unexpected places. He referred to the ordinary people who showed him kindness and compassion during his darkest days as "angels." Throughout the episode, he mentioned them by name and credited them with helping him survive.OUR CHALLENGE TO YOU: Is there someone in your past that showed you compassion when you needed it most? Perhaps it was a teacher, nurse, neighbor, grocery store clerk, family member or friend? Consider how their kindness impacted you then, and thank them for the positive role they played in your life. And finally, a reminder to those who may need it:Everybody has a purpose. We need you here.We want to hear from you!

Thank you for sharing your story. Getting out of skidrow is an incredible miracle. The only thing I would disagree with is that getting clean is easier than addicts make it out to be. Getting off the streets and off of herion is hard. It's very difficult but not nearly as difficult as being in active addiction. That being said I LOVE his story.
