Story

TW: suicide mention 

As I'm sure many of you know, I found a young man in the park attempting suicide a few years ago. It was graphic, and the young man was clearly in a state of severe mental distress (he had brought a black bag and a helium canister as a means of ending his life that day). He must've been around 16/17. Since finding him, I have really wanted to take part in a challenge such as this one. This cause is really dear to my heart, so please donate if possible!
