As city leaders grapple over how to address the fentanyl crisis in San Francisco, one man in the Tenderloin is trying to make a difference by becoming a citizen journalist.
"It's about helping you to recover and getting you off the streets to get some mental services that you need," said Smith.
"I want my kids and all the other kids here to be safe," said Smith."I don't want them to come to this park and deal with people selling drugs or people here using drugs. I don't think that's okay." "People are dying out there. I'm right in the middle of it," said Smith."I have my own brother Rodney, I have Joseph, I have Paul. Two of them died on the same day. Five of them died in the same week of fentanyl."
"This is what happened to me," said Smith showing his wounds."But I still get up every day and do it."
