STORY 1
My friend had no family. She fell gravely ill and begged me for $6000. I needed that money, but I gave it to save her life. She swore she’ll pay back, but she vanished. My friend had no family.

STORY 2
After my dad passed away, I fell into a deep depression. When I went to pick up antidepressants, I broke down crying at the pharmacy.
I apologized for “crying like a child,” but the pharmacist kindly told me, “No need to apologize. You’re confronting your struggles and working to heal. That’s truly brave.”
Those simple words shifted how I saw my mental health journey entirely.
