PostSecret -- an art community art site that in which people mail their secrets in on homemade postcards, anonymously, then said secrets get posted online -- has joined efforts with Facebook to save the life of a San Franciscan who, according to a recently published postcard, could commit suicide this summer.
The card, which was posted on June 6, reads:
I have lived in San Francisco since I was young. I am illegal. I am not wanted here. I don't belong anywhere. This summer I plan to jump off the Golden Gate.
Since the postcard went live, a Facebook page aimed at saving the life of the author now boasts over 32,000 members. Time reports: "Within 24 hours, nearly 20,000 people had signed up for a Facebook group titled “please don’t jump,” which was later linked beneath the secret on the Post Secret blog, linking in thousands of supportive comments."
