The PLEASE BRING ANDREW BRYENTON HOME TO P.EI. PETITION HAS 8441 signatures from caring and compassionate Ontario and P.E.I. residents. Here is the link: https://chng.it/TMKMZfHH2p It is fast and free.
ANDREW IS WEARING A NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS BROWNISH LONG SLEEVE SHIRT AND BLUE JEANS. ANDREW'S SIZE 13 SNEAKERS ARE IN SHREDS. ANDREW HAS REFUSED TO ACCEPT THREE PAIRS OF SNEAKERS OFFERED TO HIM.
ANDREW IS 39 years old, 6' 3", shoulder length brown hair, blue eyes, 150 pounds, and bearded. Andrew is an elite marathon runner, so moves quickly from place to place.
Andrew has walked 7.8 km today.
How much longer must Andrew endure these weather conditions? Soon the temperatures will drop significantly with snow. Andrew does not have the capability to care for himself.
He will never survive on the streets of Toronto. Last winter Andrew had a rental car where he slept at night. All he has this winter are the clothes on his back and tattered sneakers. All the steps we have taken are not working. We are frustrated beyond words!
HERE IS A VIDEO GLIMPSE OF ANDREW. HE WAS MENTALLY ILL AT THE TIME BUT NOT TO THE DEGREE NOW.
A lady sent this video blog of Andrew to me. I was not aware the video existed. It will give you a glimpse of Andrew, when he was relatively well. It was titled, "The Best Running Shoes." https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=F3GVRyhd4iE
Andrew is suffering from a serious mental illness. He is not violent. Andrew does not realize that he is seriously ill due to his symptom of ANOSOGNOSIA. It also causes Andrew to have bad judgement, such as walking across a busy street, not in the crosswalk or walking back and forth onto the road from the sidewalk.
Many thanks to the people of Ontario who have come to Andrew's rescue by providing food, water, money and clothing. It will not be easy for people to spot Andrew in the winter.
A lady sent the following message, "It is so powerful how a loving community can move its members for an altruistic reason."
Please continue to pray for Andrew that God will grant a Form 2 and the MIRACLE of a Form 1 admittance soon. Then the P.E.I. medical transfer provision may be actioned by the Ontario Minister of Health, Sylvia Jones or designate.
THIS MAMA BEAR WILL NEVER GIVE UP!
