Stacia's Story

Almost 50 years ago, a stranger’s simple question gave her safety — and an example she’s tried to follow ever since. 

Today's episode includes references to suicide. If you or a loved one is struggling with thoughts of suicide, help is available. If you live in the United States, you can text or call the suicide hotline 988. If you live outside of the U.S., go to open counseling.com to find your local help line.

Do you have your own story of an unsung hero? We'd love to hear it! Record a voice memo and email it to us at [email protected]. 

Some guidance:

--Focus on ONE moment that you will never forget. 

--Make sure you're in a quiet, non-echoey room.

--Speak conversationally, like you're talking to a friend.

--Let us know why this person continues to impact your life.

--If your hero were standing in front of you today, what would you say? Address them directly.
