Dont Do Drugs

A couple of days ago, i went to my grandma's house to take some pictures of what's been going on there the past year or so, and i found this Mcdonald's cup. It amazed me. Look how many bugs are around it.


This was only the beginning.


I mentioned a while back that my grandma had come to live with us, and this is why. The people living with her, were unfortunately involved in the enslaving world of drugs and it resorted them to hurting the one person they loved the most in this world, my grandma.


Now, her house is a pile (of rotting dishes) and all of her money gone. It is a quite unfortunate situation.


When my grandma realized what was going on, she cried and said, "How could they do this to me, when i have done so much for them?" My reply was, "They would not do this to you under normal circumstances. It is the drugs. When you are on them, you care about no one else but yourself."


We've wanted to do something for a long time to help fix the situation but no one would do anything. We went to the police, adult protective services, and everything, and no one would listen. We were powerless. So, we just had to sit and wait. Almost a year later, things got really bad, and my sister made a call that got this whole thing rolling.


And though it may not seem like it, we did this because we care about them. If we did not, we would've just let it keep happening until they killed themselves. Hopefully now, they will be able to get the help they need. That's what we truly pray for.


And kids, Dont do drugs!

it's pretty sobering.
