Episode Details

For five years, a fearless family crew in Derry has braved the streets nightly—no pay, just pure grit—to rescue strangers from overdose, injury, and despair. Armed with Narcan, blankets, flip-flops, and defibrillators, they’ve performed CPR more times than they can count, turning alleyways into lifelines. Born from one man’s gut instinct and his wife’s unwavering support, the Inner City Assistance Teams now train rigorously in mental health and emergency care, partnering with bars and first responders under the “Ask for Angela” campaign. Despite assaults and grueling shifts, their mission is fueled by tearful thanks—from parents whose kids made it home safe to addicts who’ve turned their lives around. Stephen dreams of formalizing their work, securing funding, and expanding this model across cities, building a nationwide safety net where no one walks alone.
