{UAH} Stress killing Africans in US

Folks;

The number of Africans who are reported to have taken their own lives in the US, is rising by the day.

The latest are a Kenyan woman and a Tanzanian man. 

The woman was reported to have jumped off the San Mateo Bridge, near San Francisco International Airport. Her body was recovered on Sunday morning. She had posted "disturbing" messages on social media, which had attracted the attention of her friends. But it was too late for them to reach her.

Then, on Sunday evening, a 30-year old Tanzanian man drove his car at a high speed and crashed it into a tree, in the city of Tracy, according to police. This young man was still mourning his father, who died about three months ago, in Oakland, CA.

At Stanford University, in Palo Alto, two Kenyan students took their lives last year. African online news service is awash with Africans killing themselves: in Boston, Atlanta, Houston, Denver, Philadelphia, and other places.

Please take the time and reach out to fellow Africans, especially the young fellows who are new to the western world. 

Most of these youths had never lived away from their parents, and may feel alienated in the hustle of life in North America. Some get hooked on addictive substances, which impair their judgment and cause them shame, thus further pushing them away from friends who would be of help.
