Matt didn't let anyone see his pain, until it was nearly too late.
When Matt was struggling, he didn’t know how to reach out. He didn’t think he could say what he was really feeling. But when he finally opened up—even to a stranger—everything began to change.
That’s the power of connection.

“I told the stranger the truth and I immediately felt less ashamed. By talking to that one person, I saw it was possible to open up to other people in my life.”
