Pat Allabaugh said Paul “seemed lost.” Twenty-four days later, he was gone. If someone in your life seems lost, don't wait.
Paul Allabaugh was 72. A welder. A craftsman. He had social anxiety. He filled every room with bridges nobody was buying. He hit every risk factor. If Paul had called 988, he might still be here.
If you're in that place, please call. There is a bridge. And there is hope.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18
