“SAVED MY LIFE”
“I walked out during Kristen’s presentation. I walked to the Chaplain in the back of the room and handed him my suicide note... I felt like I was a burden, things weren’t going right at work, at home, in my head... She spoke to me that day. She saved my life that day and I am forever grateful.”
“GRIPPING STORY”
