Talked a friend out of suicide when COVID first hit and a bunch of people lost their jobs and homes. Now he's got a pretty sweet work from home job with full benefits and his own place again. Am very happy for him.
A friend of mine once said he'd join the army only because he didn't have anything to live for, but I ended up helping him get a job on the railway and now he's a train driver, and a good one at that.
