I met this woman last June. I have never seen her before. She was a stranger to me. It just happened that we were at the same place at the same time.

When I met her she has just got out of hospital from a suicide attend. She was very shy and scared to talk to people. I don't know why but she was drawn to me and it was to me that she confided in. We became so much friend but with bondaries that we both respected.

It happened that she moved in apartment right beside my daughter so we kept a bit in contact like when I was going to my daughter and she would be outside. Sometime when she would see my car she would come out to talk to me.

She had only enough money to pay her rent and since I know this city more then her I guided her towards food bank and places like that.

Last weekend something happened. I was at my daughter and someone in the building beside me called 911. There was an ambulance and 5 police cars. I thought of her instantly. What happened is really tragic and I can't get it out of my mind. My friend's boyfriend has cheated on her with the neighbor. So what she did when she find that out is she got drunk, when to this girl apartment, smashed her face with a broken beer bottle. She got arrested for assault with weapon.

She is a very gentle person. She was so kind with me. She was so hurt in her pass. She just needed love.

I don't know what I can do for her now. She is in jail. This is braking my heart. I can't get it out of my mind.

Thank you for reading.
