The Tragic Story of Phillip Herron: A Call for More Compassion
A Cry for Help Phillip Herron, a single father of three, was captured in a heartbreaking photograph, alone in his car with tears streaming down his face. Minutes later, he tragically took his own life.
Hidden Struggles Phillip was burdened with over $20,000 in debt and a delayed Payday loan. The five-week wait for the loan left him with just $4.61 in his bank account, making him feel hopeless and trapped.
Silent Suffering Phillip hid his struggles, even telling his children that Santa Claus wouldn’t visit them that year. In his farewell note, he expressed his belief that his children would be better off without him.
