The football alumni did reach out to help him. Jim Jerome, the president of the football alumni club, the football alumni members themselves did reach out collecting money, clothes, helping him find an apartment and medical assistance etc. Eventually, the football alumni stopped seeking anymore donations because he was refusing any help, not adapting to his new apartment and refusing to take prescribed medication according to an article below. I know that I asked a football alumna quite a while ago if there was anything fans could do and was told he had disappeared again. So sad. RIP Luke Cain.

I imagine just like any school, whether high school, college etc that it's difficult to keep up with all the alumni  especially if they end up on the streets, not seeking help, don't want nor care to be found.  Our mental health system is so inadequate in treating those suffering from physical/mental issues who don't want nor think they need help. There are plenty of families who have even lost track of members with mental health issues.  It's all so tragic.
