Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood is facing a severe crisis as it has transformed into an open-air drug market in recent years. The situation has escalated to the point where addiction is being compared to substances as potent as heroin and fentanyl, with residents fearing for their safety and well-being.
A harm reduction non-profit group, Savage Sisters, has been providing essential services in the area, including showers, wound care, street cleanups, and overdose reversal. These services are crucial in addressing the public health issues stemming from the drug epidemic and have been instrumental in saving lives and preventing the spread of infectious diseases.
