A woman in Sunderland, northern England, who once contemplated suicide is now helping others in that dire situation by attaching notes of hope to Wearmouth Bridge, where she came near to jumping, herself, years ago.

Paige Hunter, 21, has attached to the bridge more than 1,000 notes—which she handwrites, laminates, and ties with a string—in a bid to reach as many people struggling with suicidal intentions as possible.
