Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on here now on a mission to help my schizophrenic friend to offer him comfort in knowing that I am not far.

Trip to LA was financed by his father. We went to LA to try to be with him and his decision to meet us flipped and came to paranoia that we were sent by his family to hurt him. He is out in Central LA right now, frequented to the Memorial Branch Library up until March 23rd which was also the last time he used a phone give to him.

On March 2nd he indicated to me his concern that I would never unroot from Chicago to move to LA. Well I am planning to move out to LA now hopefully by July.

You can learn about my friend's situation at speedysway.com.
