Rochester, NY

Found in a field behind an old synagogue during cleanup with Recovery All Ways. The needle was found laying on the bag. I picked up 37 needles there. 748 needles were picked up today by the group in locations across the northeast section of the city.

A good reminder of the struggles with which so many deal.

Definitely a tortured soul.

Hard to make out the writing but is sounds like a cry of despair. V

Great eye, Julie. I just want to pick up the bag and straighten it out so I could read the whole message. V

I wonder if the person who wrote that also left the needle. Such a sad scene. V.

a revealing document, as far as can be detected...it's as if a voice pleads in the darkness of addiction..
