Sleeping mats for the homeless

Ten years ago, we found out my stepson was a heroin addict. This came as a complete shock to his father and I. After confronting him, we gave him the option of moving out or going to rehab. He chose rehab, but did not like the rehab and had his mom pick him up. Now he was on the streets, as I was not comfortable having him live here with us. He had od'd in our bathtub on my birthday. We found him in the tub with a needle in his arm. I have small grandchildren, and refused to have them subjected to this behavior.
