"This is Hasan. He's 32 years old and suffers from a heroin and meth addiction. He approached me, asking with a huge smile, 'Hey, do you have time to give me a cut?' I told him to grab a seat and began cutting. I asked him if he wanted to share his story, and he just said 'I'm homeless' — with a beautiful smile on his face, which he kept the entire time I spent with him. However, he was shaking constantly, which I initially thought was because he felt cold. I asked if he wanted to wear my jacket for a bit to warm up, but he said, 'I'm not cold . . . it's the withdrawal.' When he said that, it clicked — he was withdrawing from heroin."
