Today we met a true angel on the streets of Kensington. “E” lives in the neighborhood and carries Narcan with him. Someone was overdosing on the el platform today, but the Septa employee wouldn’t let E get on the platform so he could administer Narcan. So E waited until the employee wasn’t looking, jumped the turnstile, administered Narcan and saved a young man’s life. He says it’s not the first time he’s done it. You don’t have a chance at recovery if you’re dead.
