On the darkest day of her life, Clarice’s unsung heroes gave her a safe space to feel some joy. 

Editorial note: if you or someone you know is in crisis, there are people who can help. Call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. 

Do you have your own story of an unsung hero? We'd love to hear it! Record a voice memo and email it to us at [email protected]. 

Some guidance:

--Focus on ONE moment that you will never forget. 

--Make sure you're in a quiet, non-echoey room.

--Speak conversationally, like you're talking to a friend.

--Let us know why this person continues to impact your life.

--If your hero were standing in front of you today, what would you say? Address them directly.
