About

Our journey has been anything but ordinary. Through every step, we've focused on staying true to our values and making space for thoughtful, lasting work.

Fifty First Street isn’t just a business—it’s a reflection of what we believe in. We’re here to create work that matters, led by our Faith in God.

“He turned around and looked at us, saying, “ I’ll be OK.”  His arms wrapped around his waist, locked in chains.  His ankles also chained together, making it impossible for him to walk. Like an animal. Arrested for possession of the very drug he was prescribed by his doctor for shoulder pain, given a $7M bond and a 12 year prison sentence as a first offender. Ultimately spending 25 years in prison. Never violent, yet housed with the most vicious offenders. “Who are we? Who have we become? How is anybody OK with this? I must admit, there were quite a few who were, I’m sure out of fear, coming from one of the wealthiest communities in America, Westport, CT.”‍ ‍

It was Intentional. ‍ ‍

Now, look at Kensington PA? Home to one of the largest open-air drug market hubs in the US driven by a deep-rooted and synthetic drug crisis. The duplication of it, happening in NYC. And let’s not forget about Skid Row in Southern, CA.

It’s Intentional.‍ ‍

Enter Pain Management. Now, that we are deathly afraid of becoming one of them, the system introduces NSAIDS for pain, even after major surgeries. They don’t work. “I remember visiting a friend in the hospital and First Responders wheeling a patient out of the corridor as she SCREAMS BLOODY MURDER!.  The Social Worker tells me, “Don’t worry about her, she’s just in pain!”  What?” 

“And after, many surgeries required after doing all that time in prison, he catches a an infection from someone with TB, and loses 3 vertebrae. Mistreated by Pain Mgmt. right in front of me. OK. I’ve seen enough. And we wonder why there is a $154B demand for illicit drugs in America that the Cartel’s are more than happy to meet?”

It’s Intentional.

“Can you see it? We’ve been sold for destruction and annihilation and slaughter, just like he was 30 plus years ago. Led to believe we can trust our govt to do what’s right, and disregard this demographic because there is nothing we can do about them anyway, but back the Blue. Well, I spent a lifetime discerning Who I can Trust.

And as we enter the 56th year of this War, I suggest we do what He says, and do what’s right. Obediently.

Let go of your fear. Face the truth with courage. All we need to do is look at alcohol, cigarettes, marihuana, and gambling. All decriminalized and legalized. And with education; not abused.”

Fifty First Street creates grounded purpose-driven lives who once were employed by the Cartel’s meeting the demand for illicit drugs. Now, engaged with new opportunities.

Who’s now also out of business?

It’s Intentional. By us.
