I am Shawn's Grandmom. Shawn lives with me and has been sober over one year. He is healthy and still determined to make a life in music. He works at it daily and is quite accomplished. I am proud of Shawn! He is a great help to me. I love him and trust in him!
IM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT HE IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE PPL THAT IVE INTERVIEWED AND HAS STUCK WITH ME BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH POTENTIAL I SEEN IN HIM. PLS EMAIL ME facesofkensington@yahoo. thank u
I love people posting this stuff!! In a world full of so much despair and chaos stories of stuff working out really instills in me a sense that it can work out for people,
God, snatch this kid outta these streets before he's too far gone. He literally can do anything. He has the brains and talents, don't let that be wasted. -Amen
went to school with him K-8th grade, bright kid just went down the wrong path, name is Shawn Hayes, hope he’s alive & well out there and finds the help he deserves. he’s got a long life ahead of him, talented kid.
Grew up with this kid, he has nothing but potential but just came from a rough background, wish him nothing but the best and hope he finds recovery, one of the sadest stories of Philly for me.
Frank I think it is beautiful what you are doing to help & bring awareness. I was once too a Kensington junkie & recently celebrated 5 yrs clean & sober. I had to fully remove myself from Philly & I now live a wonderful life with peace in my heart & mind in sunny San Diego. But...it seems like you are spending more & more time on the Ave, when you have a family at home that needs you. You can so easily get stuck in Kensington clean, just as much as you can using. As being a fellow person in recovery, you know that the ONLY way these people will get help is if they fully surrender & ask for help...plus, & most importantly, they must WANT to stop the madness & insanity. Addiction, ESPECIALLY in Kensington, is such a dark, broken slow suicide, & being on the Ave as much as you have been, their negative energy can drain you just as quickly as if you were using. I used to try to rescue & save everyone, untill I finally realized that I was the one that needed to be saved. God Bless you my Brother in Recovery...I hope you find balance & are present at home as much as you are on the Ave. The ONLY reason I am commenting for in a recent video you had stated that you live 3 hours away, but you have been posting daily of your time in Kensington. I pray for all the lost souls that walk dead on the Ave, but I have not desire to ever go back, ESPECIALLY with this fetynol epidemic plaguing our society. I was on the 8th & Girard clinic for 3 yrs & they give you a monthly transportation pass wether you are homeless or not, PLUS there are clinics everywhere in Philly, especially North. If you TRULY wanted to stop, you would get to that clinic everyday. I do not recommend methadone, but if it will get you to stop shooting up then it can save your life.
Yeah I caught that excuse to! They even give u day passes until your approved for your transpass. Homeless or not to goes by addy you used for insurance
Great Young Man you can tell he was raised right never heard him Blame any of his issue on anybody but his self. I pray this man breaks his addiction and continue to evolve in life.
This kid is extremely intelligent. He looks great and I hope and pray he gets the help he needs. He is too young to be living on the streets and I fear he will be hurt or worse.
So glad to hear. This kid is so alive, so thoughtful and full of positive energy. I hope he continues with his music and stays clean. So good to hear that ...
My niece stated the same way at his age. She was raised well but wanted to be a adult. She died May 12 2018 in the park in Kensington . If this kid don't get help he won't last long
This breaks my heart 💔. Addiction does not discriminate. I hope he gets the help he needs before it's too late. Frank idk who you are but thank you for spending time to make addicts feel like people again. Prayers for him 🙏
I knew this guy, I worked at a rehab center in Philadelphia where a lot of people from Kensington came to. I won’t say which one but he was also nice and I felt for him being so young
This young man touched my heart ❤ he's so smart and articulate. He said so many profound thing's and I pray he gets out of there and does what he needs to do to get his love of music back and do his thing. Blessings to you brother,and to Frank too.
This young man can do some amazing things...you can tell he is extremely intelligent even while in his addiction..imagine him clear headed and got his stuff together..
This kid has potential to do anything he would like to do in his life. I feel his pain. Ive been in his shoes and threw my life away. I hope he gets clean and does amazing things with his life and for others. If your reading this youngin just know imma pray for u. U can do it.
Holy crap it’s kid is so bright ! Get yourself a RUclips Chanel I would listen to you talk for hours !!! your so smart and I know your destined for amazing things. I can’t wait to see how far you can go xx
I can't anymore😢😥.. This is a little kid down there in the jungle.. I 🙏 pray so hard right now young man, Lord please bless this child and everyone else struggling out on the streets tonight and the evil drugs..
What a beautiful human. So young- and you don't know when you're that young how much harder it gets to change later. This kid is smart and he understands about the spiritual solution. In fact, thanks Shawn for reminding me because I forgot. Now take that next action. You have so much to offer the world and to enjoy in life.
Shawn ... we believe in you bruv. Keep your head up. You're so smart, thoughtful and full of positivity. Do your music, writing, design and stay strong! After seeing this, you have a lot of people rooting for your success!
Man he is so smart! I hope and pray he finds himself and beats his addiction! He has so much to accomplish in this life. Such a young kid with so much to offer the world, breaks my heart!
I know this kid, I know his family and he is a very polite well raised kid. Same as his older brother. Made my heart break when I watched this. Without giving out to much info in respect of his mother and family I will let all you who wish him the best and was sad by his story know that he is in a place getting help. Just pray for him!
@@TheMirjam68 he was as of a week or so ago. He has his bad times and then he has his good times. Addiction is so hard to escape when all the help is mostly in the neighborhoods where there is more drugs being sold. My opinion anyway. I lost my 16 year old son on December 22 2019 by a fentanyl poisoning. I’m devastated Ans I pray my friend ( shawns mom) never has to go through what I am.
I see the beginning of something beautiful here. I hope this kid walks away thinking about this interview and does indeed keep in touch. Take him under your wings and he will save just as many lives as you are saving, if not more.
I have high hopes for this young man. He’s smart, young, and hopefully a long life ahead of him. He’s sooo intelligent, kind of reminds me of my younger sister. My father was an accident (7 years today he’s been gone). So many of his traits are in my sister, and I just hope she doesn’t fall down this path. Be smart, it’s never too late to turn things around. Would love to see an update at some point.
What you are doing is such a positive thing I've been watching a lot of your videos lately it gives hope for people out there sometimes they just want to feel like someone cares I too lived there once and have done my fair share of fallouts can't believe I never met you before you are such a positive person not many people have a heart like that in Philly I was always around Kensington for such a long time for years the area I lived the most was actually York Dauphin Station near the Norris Square Park it was hard to see a lot of the things I've seen and been through I moved though a few months ago but I can never forget where I came from it's a hard life there ... maybe something good can happen some way to help these people .. the world needs people like you ... keep doing your thing bro
Wow, i wish all the blessings for this young gifted kid, what accomplishments he could make in his life, God keep all of them safe and help them help themselves.
Save him I grew up on the streets at 14, this kid is smart, if he does not get help he wont be here next year, fetnal is a killer!!! But in the end if your reading this youngster I've almost lost my life 15 times, get help man I grew up on the street, but now I'm solid
@@DRIFTWOOD-- Yes. I can offer him a good place to get away for the winter months at least so he can focus on his health and well being. All I can do is put the offer out. ✔
Keep fighting the good fight 💯🙏 I'm so so proud of you I'm four years clean but I have ran the n.y c streets for decades and WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT YOUR CAUSE!!! SALUTE AND GOD 🙏 BLESS
Dear Shawn if you are reading this please, please surrender and get help. Use the same aggressiveness and intensity you use to get your drugs and use it to get sober. You are so worth loving yourself. You said all the right answers so please put the steps into action. God bless you.
ArizonaAkinTv that’s what everyone in the mettings say damn that boy has potential. He has the smarts maybe he just hasn’t had enough pain. He doesn’t have help and he’s homeless that sucks.
I do too. Like when he said how he takes things to extreme. He probably tried helping everyone and when you do the kind of work Frank does, it can get depressing if you don't realize some will make it some won't. He probably got clean and tried doing everything at once. You can get easily depressed/worn out that way.
Most of these addicts come from homes where there is no father present. IMO, the breakup of the nuclear family is one of the leading causes of the high incidence of drug use, crime, homelessness, etc. in the U.S.A. today.
omg this guy is something else he is so intelligent omg i hope he gets clean and does something with his life he has his whole life he’s so young praying for his
Frank you are absolutely right in my opinion in thinking creative people tend to be addicts more so than non creative. We have an intensity about us. I know with me I tend to be all or nothing when I'm creating ANYTHING. I also think because we have that creative side we are more likely to feel raw emotion more than others and want to dull the hurtful feelings and will do so at any cost, ie; drugs/alcohol. Almost every addict I know tend to be the most creative and unique individuals anyone would ever meet. God bless you, your family, and your ministry.
Wow... So sad , so young but so intelligent. He’s got the potential and super talented. More then most do out in the streets. Good Luck to you and please get the help!!! You can do it Shawn! 🙏🏼
I hope you get the chance to live a life worthy of your many talents young man, please take the chance to walk away now while you still can. Love and best wishes to you ❣️
Shawn...You can do it and get back on track. Please take the information that Frank is giving you and run with it. I'll be praying for your return to a sober life and your many talents that God had blessed you with. You are not done living, there is a purpose in your life and I pray you get a chance to experience all there is that God has to offer. Be strong and take charge young man.
Shawn, you are either shooting the best line of shit I have ever heard or if you are sincere about getting clean, please go for the spiritual road. I will say no more but look toward your higher power. Lots of love
Anything I can do lmk. I'm more then willing to help in anyway I can. I know your fixing a house up and all. I been installing floors for 20yrs. So lmk and I'll give y'all a hand
I wish this kid the best! He reminds me of myself when I was 19 addicted & dealing drugs. Luckily I turned myself around, now I work for myself at age 23, and in a better spot than my peers. That's not to brag/boast but to show anything is possible, even when you're down & out in the streets. I hope this kid makes the best of himself because he has potential. Thank you Frank for the content & the reminder of where I've come from.
O frank....U got to help that baby boy.he is to young to be in the street.an living that way.he needs some guidance.help.that is just so sad.he has got even got out the gate.of life.i I was crying on that one.just to damm young.
At the net street road they give you day passes until your monthly transpass is approved, which takes anywhere from 3-10 days.... Every clinic does it this way.
i think your theory is right in relation to artistic abilities and drugs. I'm 5 years clean from Percs and Vicodin. I was prescribed them for an accident (Percs first, then Vicodins, but after they cut me off without weaning me off, i bought anything i could off the streets i.e. Percs, Vicodin, "Perc 30's" which are actually Roxicets, etc), and quickly found out they enhanced my songwriting and music in general, and thats what got me. I refused to take subs because the withdrawals off those would have been worse than the actual drug of choice, but i actually got clean by using Kratom. Literately saved my life.
Yes, a lot of artists are sensitive people that just go bad ways when the environment is rough, this kid is around my brother's age and I feel so bad for him, I wish him the best.
He reminds me of me and all the boys I’ve ran with.. young, smart & talented that just got caught up and ended up taking the wrong path. I have high hope for him. Hopefully he gets outta there sooner than later though
What!?!? Fuck you mean philly is no place to raise a family these junky’s chose to get high idk wanna hear it’s a disease bs I lived in philly my whole life and got a family foh with that bs
Do you know how 🤔 this kid is doing. I watched this last night and it brought tears 😢 to my eyes. He so young. God I pray he comes around and gets sober. He is very intelligent.
I am his Grandmother. Shawn has been sober for almost 2 years. He lives with me and is kind and respectful. He still works on his music! Thanks for caring.
You can always get it back. I started drugs at 16/17, barely graduated high school. Flash forward, I went back to school (for music) when I was 27, now I got my degree, and 11 years clean and making money doing different things with music. It's never too late, but it is a lot of hard work. And for me it was a combo of staying clean one day at at time and channeling my obsessions and compulsions toward less destructive activities - music, meetings, writing, nature etc.
This kid has the answers and the will power and the drugs are keeping him hostage. The drugs ultimately come from the top and they are killing our world. This kid has so many gifts to share and he is being held down. It's sad and it's tragic. Prayers for him❤
@MORALSOVERMONEY hey frank how is this young fella doing ? Certain people u interview hit home with me a hell of a lot more than orhers which im sure u understand....this guy i pray he is doing good. He is smart and educated and very much talented
And here i am very much NOT TALENTED 😂😂😂😂i dont even know how to tag people on RUclips to be honest...😂 but i still always try to do it again and again 😂😂anyone wanna teach me ????

I love your advice!
"When I quit helping people that's when I relapsed... that's what happened... I swear to God that's what happened" I believe him bro
ArizonaAkinTv that’s what everyone in the mettings say damn that boy has potential. He has the smarts maybe he just hasn’t had enough pain. He doesn’t have help and he’s homeless that sucks.
Bit sure though don’t walk in his shoes. But I found it crazy he said that so young the help part
I dont use drugs. But I do have PROBLEMS. I learned the only thing that keep my mind of my problems is helping others with theirs
I do too. Like when he said how he takes things to extreme.

I wish this kid the best! He reminds me of myself when I was 19 addicted & dealing drugs. Luckily I turned myself around, now I work for myself at age 23, and in a better spot than my peers. That's not to brag/boast but to show anything is possible, even when you're down & out in the streets. I hope this kid makes the best of himself because he has potential. Thank you Frank for the content & the reminder of where I've come from.
Very bright young man
This young man is intelligent and outgoing, he has potential...please save him! 🙏🙏🙏

At the net street road they give you day passes until your monthly transpass is approved, which takes anywhere from 3-10 days.... Every clinic does it this way.
Frank he can transfer to the nets other location which is the one I just mentioned on street road

i think your theory is right in relation to artistic abilities and drugs. I'm 5 years clean from Percs and Vicodin. I was prescribed them for an accident (Percs first, then Vicodins, but after they cut me off without weaning me off, i bought anything i could off the streets i.e. Percs, Vicodin, "Perc 30's" which are actually Roxicets, etc), and quickly found out they enhanced my songwriting and music in general, and thats what got me. I refused to take subs because the withdrawals off those would have been worse than the actual drug of choice, but i actually got clean by using Kratom. Literately saved my life.
this kid has so much potential. get down on your knees and with a sincere heart ask God to miraculously take away your addiction.
Omg this is breaking my heart. Please keep me updated on him. Please God save him.
You doing big things Frank salute 💯💯
This kid is spitting straight facts 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 god please save him from the streets❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes, a lot of artists are sensitive people that just go bad ways when the environment is rough, this kid is around my brother's age and I feel so bad for him, I wish him the best.
He is sooo smart and handsome!! I pray he gets the help he needs and succeeds at his life. He can do it🙏🏼💙
What a nice kid. I wish him well
Praying for you young homie🙇♀️🙏❤☝️☁️👍🙇♀️
He reminds me of me and all the boys I’ve ran with.. young, smart & talented that just got caught up and ended up taking the wrong path. I have high hope for him. Hopefully he gets outta there sooner than later though
You stay Strong...And Never give up.
Please god save this young man and keep him safe ❤️ love from the North 🇨🇦
This poor kid reminds me of my baby brother.... he died at 21. Philly is no place to raise a family right now
What!?!? Fuck you mean philly is no place to raise a family these junky’s chose to get high idk wanna hear it’s a disease bs I lived in philly my whole life and got a family foh with that bs
Omg ! ❤️ praying for you !!! ❤️❤️✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Very self aware, and bright. Praying for him...
God please wrap ur arms around this cute little baby & see him home to his family safe and sound
Do you know how 🤔 this kid is doing. I watched this last night and it brought tears 😢 to my eyes. He so young. God I pray he comes around and gets sober. He is very intelligent.
I am his Grandmother. Shawn has been sober for almost 2 years. He lives with me and is kind and respectful. He still works on his music! Thanks for caring.
Wow!!!!!!! 😯😪😪🙁this boy is awesome!! I pray Lord Jesus for his transformation 🦋
You can always get it back. I started drugs at 16/17, barely graduated high school. Flash forward, I went back to school (for music) when I was 27, now I got my degree, and 11 years clean and making money doing different things with music. It's never too late, but it is a lot of hard work. And for me it was a combo of staying clean one day at at time and channeling my obsessions and compulsions toward less destructive activities - music, meetings, writing, nature etc.
Congratulations on your sobriety. I applaud 👏 ✌🏾 you.
He is right. Sensitive, creative and emotional people are way more prone to addiction. He nailed it. Our brains work different.
Get out of there! Use those talents... share them. Pulling and praying for you , young man. 🙏🏼💪
I knew this kid from the neighborhood growing up . He had a rough up bringing . Kills me to see him down there .
Praying for you Shawn. Thank you Frank.
He’s just a baby😔I wish him nothing but the best🤞🏽🤞🏽❤️❤️
This kid has the answers and the will power and the drugs are keeping him hostage. The drugs ultimately come from the top and they are killing our world. This kid has so many gifts to share and he is being held down. It's sad and it's tragic. Prayers for him❤

And here i am very much NOT TALENTED 😂😂😂😂i dont even know how to tag people on RUclips to be honest...😂 but i still always try to do it again and again 😂😂anyone wanna teach me ????
"Wake Up"
Wake up young man, it's time to wake up
Your love affair has got to go
For 10 long years, for 10 long years
The leaves to rake up
Slow suicide's no way to go, oh
Blue, clouded grey
You're not a crack up
Dizzy and weakened by the haze
Moving onward
So an infection not a phase
Yeah, oh
The cracks and lines from where you gave up
They make an easy man to read, oh
For all the times you let them bleed you
For little peace from God you plead, and beg
For little peace from God you plead
Ahhaahh, Yeah, Ahhaahh, Yeah, Ahhaahh, Yeah
Wake up young man, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Oh, yeah
Wake up young man, it's time to wake up
Your love affair has got to go, yeah
For 10 long years, for 10 long years,
The leaves to rake up
Slow suicide's no way to go, oh
Slow suicide's no way to go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
did you write that?
