Bradley just lost his car and has been trying to rehabilitate himself out of drugs, while needing medical treatments for a flesh eating virus he says he is not getting right now and facing misdemeanors.
Below in his words how he described his difficult life:
“I’m an old diesel mechanic.
I'm a dad, just things ain't going right.
I'm messing up sometimes just misdemeanors, added up and you know, I just feel like I just sit here.
I feel like sometimes there’s nowhere to go.
I’ve lived in Reno, off and on, since I was about 17.
I normally live out in the Coyote mountain area, towards Winnemucca.
I feel like sometimes there's no way to go.
I got through a program. I made it through a program.
I know my body needs help, but I don't even get help when I go to the hospital. They think I'm some trash that needs like a bottle of some crap…
[In my cart] I got some food, some tape, a little bit of booze, a way to tape over in case it gets wet.
Right now, I got a flesh eating virus, just being poked by a twig cleaning up.
I almost lost my arm within four days.
Then got caught for an open container. Had to go to court again. Kind of gotta go through things. But yeah, it was, it's like weird.
I'm always industrial. I'm a landscaper type, maintenance man, digging in the dirt and everything. But this is the first time I ever got caught struck with this type of virus and it was like weird, you know, I still got my arm.
I'm grateful.”
