The power of a Shabbos invitation…
“Here I am, a 19-year-old teenager who is supposed to be the mommy and daddy, while at the same time I’m supposed to be in school. I’ve been struggling with so many issues that I have reached a dead end. I made up my mind that this Friday night, I was going to take my life. And then, I got your Shabbos invitation so I decided that I will go to you for Shabbos and then Saturday night I will take my life.”
Sincerely,
Elise Brodersen
