A young woman’s attempted suicide on a bridge in Nashville was interrupted at the last minute by an unlikely hero. She was halfway there, then “Livin’ on a Prayer” singer Jon Bon Jovi appeared at her side and managed to talk her out of the life-ending decision. Pardon the pun. The scene was released in local surveillance camera footage by the Nashville Police Department. Bon Jovi and a small crew were filming a portion of a video for “The People’s House” on the upcoming Bon Jovi album Forever. That’s when he noticed that a woman had climbed beyond the rails of the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge and was looking down at the long drop into the Cumberland River.

A Place To Recover: How Medical Respite Programs Help Unhoused People Heal
by Robert Davis, Reasons to Be Cheerful
Rest. Heal. Recover. To people with serious illnesses and injuries who are also experiencing homelessness, those three words seem impossible to achieve. How can one rest when lying on a blanket in public is considered a quality-of-life infraction? Where can one heal or recover when medicine and other personal belongings could be thrown away without a moment’s notice? Over the last decade, medical respite care programs have been bridging the gap between housing and health care for people experiencing homelessness. These programs provide private space for unhoused folks who are too ill to recover from an illness or injury on the streets.

by Iñigo Alexander, The Guardian
As the morning sun beats down on the Caribbean island of Tierra Bomba in Colombia, a group of schoolchildren heads towards the beach, with two carrying surfboards over their heads. The children, many of whom are barefoot, meander through the town, also called Tierra Bomba, down unkempt and littered dirt roads, past colourful tin-roofed homes and makeshift clotheslines. As they near the beach, the spartan concrete houses give way to palm-thatched bungalows with swimming pools overlooking the sea, flanked by colourful flowers. Playa Linda’s sands are dotted with bars, parasols and loungers, the waters crisscrossed by darting jetskis.
