*Depression is real* Tell me when last did you call someone you know to check up on? When was the last time you went to a brother or sister to ask *How are you managing with your family*? Have you eaten something today, why is your child at home for some days now? Have you ever asked, if I give you 10k can you start something with it? How many times have you called someone and said carry this food go and eat with your kids? Have you ever rendered help to someone and the person started crying, because he or she do not expect it? How many times have you called someone you know that is passing through a lot and advised the person and make the person understand that life is not permanent and that our God is not selfish? Why allow someone to die like that when you can save a life? Please, try your best to check on your neighbours, don't allow depression to take over them. Put a smile on someone's face & save a life today. Kindly think about it.🤔😢🙏
