@FarahJadran @800273TALK That was very compassionate of you. Thank you for passing on that information. I wish there were even more resources in this community for those who felt this way. Is this number the same as CONTACTS?

Good Monday morning to EVERYONE! Emphasizing *everyone* after a viewer reached out to me feeling very down. They said they didn't care about anything anymore & there was no hope. I passed along The Lifeline @800273TALK (800-273-8255). There is ALWAYS HOPE. Pass it on. Be kind. 💛
