We've heard tragic stories reported in the news and on social media all too often. Whether it's a young person who has lost his life to gun violence or a family struggling to pay the bills, it's clear that we're surrounded by people in need of help, including those who are silent about their struggles. The good news is that we are not powerless to help.
