We understand that living on the streets is life and death in CNY. Since 2011 44 friends have passed away living outdoors. 2 women were murdered, 2 friends died in abandoned house fire trying to stay warm, 30 friends have overdosed, 8 friends have died from health complication from living a hard life outdoors and 2 friends were hit by vehicles while walking on the side of the road. Scott who is in the picture we are holding up is one of the men hit by a vehicle. We met Scott in early 2015 living outdoors, he was one of Steve’s (pictured here) good friends. Steve and Scott were homeless living on the streets of Syracuse. Steve made it indoors on 7/7/15  with Scott making it indoors not to far after in late fall of that year. Steve addressed his addiction was reunited with his family and is now living in S. Carolina with his family. Scott never addressed his addiction and was disconnected from his family who is living in N. Carolina. In March 2018 Scott was walking home in a drunken state and fell into the road into on coming traffic. Scott was severely injured and passed away due to his injuries. IMFK did a service for Scott here in Syracuse and we have been the guardians of his remains knowing there would be a time to transport him back to the Carolinas to spread his ashes. Well the opportunity presented itself last week as Steve was able to come up to Syracuse for a visit and to take care of some business. Steve met us at IMFK for a reunion with his friend Scott. Steve and I shared funny memories of Scott and talked about life coming to a full circle. Steve will be transporting Scott back home and spreading his ashes in the State he was born in. Our mission at IMFK is to bring Value and Dignity to our friends even unto DEATH! Scott Love you my brother YOU WERE NOT INVISIBLE!
