When Shree stepped off the bridge in mid-2017, she had every
reason for wanting to throw in the crappy hand life had dealt her. Recently divorced,
her career was going nowhere, living on her own was proving to be financially
tough.
But on her way down, she had a realization. If she checked
out now, her own children would suffer precisely the same mom-shaped hole in their
life as she had. So instead of giving up when she hit the water, she swam to
safety.
This was despite suffering a collapsed lung, shattered ribs,
and burst spleen—all so she might see her kids again.
But that isn’t even the amazing bit. That came two weeks
later when Shree’s story made it to the newspapers and caught the eye of a serial
investor. Specifically, he read about her experience, and it just so happened
that she was freaking amazing organic farmer.
Within a week of reading her story, he had tracked her down and
put two other potential investors in touch. After literally years of trying, Shree
had finally able to start her MSE & make it big enough to employee 37 other
people —all because someone cared enough about a stranger’s misery to sacrifice
few hours of his life helping her.
There are thousands of stories of sons, daughters, friends, sisters,
brothers, parents who came so close but realized at the last moment there was
someone out there who still loved them.
There are always people who will miss you when you go, no matter how hopeless things might feel. There are always people willing to help, even if it doesn’t seem like it at the time.
