‘Notes Of Hope’ Help Suicide Jumpers Think Twice

Posted on Sunday, September 15, 2019 by Marya Morgan

The Foresthill Bridge towers 730 ft above unforgiving earth. Armed with colorful paper and zip ties, Brittney Hendricks and Notes of Hope volunteers go to the edge to leave messages for lonely souls. At least one suicidal person so far called the hotline after seeing a note. “We don’t want anyone to feel like they’re so alone they don’t have any other choice but to jump.” K-LOVE's Marya Morgan reports from the bridge.
