Stranger steps in to help during mental health episode

Two pairs of hands holding each other across a table.

“I am immensely proud of the kindness my husband showed towards a stranger this week who was suffering from a serious mental health episode.

He stopped on his commute to work to talk to her, help her get warm, ensure she was safe and waiting with her until support arrived for her.

As she didn’t speak English, he even telephoned a friend who spoke her native language to help her feel safe.

Everyone else drove past but he stopped and took the time to do the right thing.”

What a wonderful, kind husband – he’s certainly a kindness superhero! Big thank you to the anonymous person who sent in this story.
