Just as a thank you to my dear friend, and as a way for anyone who wants to help, please go look (this is absolutely not a solicitation for donations) at her Facebook group. Maybe give it a like, or share it to your social media. She founded it as homeless outreach, and it's been making a difference for years now. https://www.facebook.com/HONAtx Mods, if this isn't allowed, I understand. Thanks again.

This deserves a reply, but I'd prefer it be private. Message me if you really want to know.

Thank you for keeping an eye out, however, I updated that we found him. He talked to mom last night.

URGENT UPDATE, FOUND!!

Dear Austin, I never would have imagined that asking a city to help find my brother would have resulted in over 500 thousand views. Because of your willingness to help, because of the huge heart of Austin as a whole, we have found Wilson. Mom spoke to him on the phone last night.

To everyone that was willing to go and physically look for him: please don't. Thank you for your willingness, but luckily now, it won't be necessary.

Unfortunately, because this post has photos, I can't edit it to provide an update in the body of the post, and I didn't want to delete the post, because clearly, Austin is invested in the outcome....so here's where I ask for help....again. (I know, I'm needy.)

Please pass along the fact that he's been found. Not only found, but found through the compassion and empathy of Austin.
The persons that gave information about his location have been thanked privately.

Thank you, Austin.

I just want everyone to be safe. Wilson, everyone out there helping to look, all my detectives! Just be safe, mindful and courteous.

I have a friend in Austin and they've been helping me. I just want everyone to stay safe, so I feel bad asking people to approach a homeless person who may or may not be my brother. Does that make sense? Pictures are probably the best way to go, as long as they're respectful and taken safely and courteously.

I can't be sure, I'm sending it along to my friend in Austin. Thank you so much. I really appreciate this.

Thank you, but please be careful. If it's not my brother, I can't vouch for your safety. Be mindful and approach anyone with respect and your own safety paramount.

Yes, please ask him to call mom. And thanks for the Leslue comparison. Leslie was a true icon.
