  1. i wanted to end mylife when i was 20. i had no money, no plans for future and owned nothing. Now i own a house, nice car, have plans and life is great. Young ppl need to understand that things chance.. no matter how bad it is now, it can change into better and better to great.

  2. God bless her and God bless him ๐Ÿ™ โค. Lord please let her find a peaceful path so that she may thrive in this world and know that You Lord are with her every step of the way. ๐Ÿ™ โค In Jesus name I pray this for her. Amen โœจ๏ธ ๐Ÿ’– ๐Ÿ™ โœจ๏ธ

  3. This brought me to tears, but what really grinds my gears are the couple that walked passed her minding their business as the baby appears to attempt to walk towards the lady to possibly comfort her.

  4. He really did that. โค See, not a bystander. He directly helped. Y'all do the same and the world will be a better place. I hope this lady gets support care, not some hand off to police to treated like a criminal. She needs support not another reason to stand at that bridge contemplating you know what.

  5. Mr Bon Jovi supports Kamala Harris. Iโ€™m guessing heโ€™s not aware that she and the Democrat party are anti free speech. Iโ€™m just guessing he doesnโ€™t know. Imagine the pos heโ€™d be if he does know. Hope the woke havenโ€™t grabbed you Jon, youโ€™ve always seemed a good guy. Cheers
