    Hello everyone, I have two updates for those who are interested. The first being an update on CG (Sije), and the second being an update on a GoFundMe to help make a bigger difference. Update 1: First of all I want to thank you all for the overwhelming positivity and support for CG (Sije). I see many of you have connected with her story and want to help in some way. I saw her last night (July 13th, 2024) and spent about an hour with her. We went to Publix (local supermarket) to get her some food and other items she needed. After, we talked for awhile about the positive reception of her video and about her friends who reached out. This put a big smile on her face and she is very grateful to know so many people care. We then discussed her current situation. She was not ready to make a change at that time. I will continue to encourage her towards sobriety the best I can and to continue to help with meals, clothes and other things she may need when I see her. SHE DID RECEIVE THE RADIO which she was very excited about. She also agreed to an update video in the coming weeks. I will keep everyone updated! Update 2: I have launched a GoFundMe for the general mission of my channel. This is something that I have been hesitant on until I realized how many people want to help through the comments on this video. As of now everything that I do to help is funded from my full time day job. I go out on the weekends to meet people struggling and to catch up with others from my channel. During these trips I am usually purchasing multiple meals, clothes, medicines and other humanitarian items. I know many of you want a GoFundMe for CG specifically. The day she commits to treatment I will set that up to help her get on her feet. For now, you can write a message on your donation if you want to buy a meal or something for a specific person. I will allocate that donation to that purpose. All other donations to the overall channel mission will all go back to helping the people I meet. I may even upgrade my microphone if there is enough for that, I've seen some audio complaints. GoFundMe Link: gofund.me/ac62a8b9 If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions please respond to this comment and I will answer. My name is Eric and I am very grateful for all of you šŸ¤

  • @helenaagell9224
    She seems extremely intelligent, empathetic and valuable And no ego
  • @mezenkima3
    Imagine for a moment that she was a little sweet innocent child with dreams, desires and a bright future and now she's here. Hope she gets back on her feet
  • Sije is so articulate and is so aware of what traumatized her. I hope she can overcome and heal. She can have such a beautiful life!
  • @JM-dl6kb
    She is such an empath, from feeling responsible for her mom's wellness to social anxiety and loving animals. She deserves only the best after so much suffering
  • @deanmartin6052
    That poor woman. She seems able to communicate so well, and she's obviously intelligent. What happened to her is actually heartbreaking. I hope she comes through this and life gets better for her.
  • @HeyDee93
    There is something very special about you, CG. You are intuitive, compassionate, bright, and well-spoken. You have a light in you. Keep going!
  • @viacosmos
    An Argentine from Spain watching your video. The video has already broken the language barrier. Please don't let go of CG. She is an incredible being and she is inspiring many people from a distance. I have also gone through many very hard trials here in the last few years and seeing such wonderful human beings as you gives me strength and encouragement. My wife also liked "Depeche Mode" a lot... I hope that she can enjoy the music that gives her relief with the radio. I also hope that she can overcome her anxiety and with it all the drugs. Tell her that we send her lots of love. I would have loved to be her friend. I suspect that yours too. Good luck in everything!

    This woman is a good person. My heart goes out to her.
  • There's a great woman within her. She's articulate, generous and incredibly aware. I hope she finds the life she deserves being safe, productive and loved. I can't imagine how hard her life has been.
  • She really comes across as a special person who has a lot to offer the world. I really hope she gets the help she needs and really changes her situation for the better to live a long, healthy life.
  • @marcofacen9564
    The sadest part of this Video is that CG seems to be a smart, humble and very kind person. All the best to her!
  • @3517p
    I usually get bored of an interview if over 10 min but i found myself wanting MORE of this one. I really thought her to be 20-22 so beautiful and so intellectual. I really hope the streets dont eat her up and she gets help she still has so much potential. CG is the only person that i really felt in my soul and is the only one that i would even go out of my way for. Please get help you are worth so much more. ā¤

    Sije, gosh, you're a beautiful soul. I have a deep feeling that you're going to make a 180 with your life. I can't wait to see it, I am rooting for you.
  • @stankybee
    This is probably the most normal and coherent drug addict i've seen talk probably ever.
  • @meghanh71
    Youā€™re a very good interviewer. You know how to actually listen, show empathy and ask meaningful questions that keep the conversation flowing.
  • Sheā€™s so well spoken, introspective and self-aware. Not something you normally see with people living this sort of life. She has such potential. I canā€™t wait for her to be ready to make a permanent change. She clearly has something special to offer - maybe a future youth counselor or social worker.

    This beautiful lady is an old soul,and an empath.Wishing her nothing but the very best.ā¤
