In this powerful video, Chuck shares the story of his sister, Charity, whose battle with mental-health challenges shaped their family’s life in ways both painful and profound.

With honesty and deep love, Chuck speaks about what it was like to watch someone so full of light struggle quietly beneath the surface. He reflects on the signs he didn’t always understand at the time, the moments he wished he could have carried the weight for her, and the heartbreaking reality that despite every effort and every ounce of love poured into her, Charity eventually lost her fight and died by suicide.

This is a story about grief, but it’s also a story about love. It’s a reminder of how heavy unseen battles can be, how desperately people need support, and how important it is to check on those we love — even the ones who seem “okay.”

At Borrow My Angel, we share stories like Chuck’s because they matter. Because when someone speaks their pain out loud, it breaks the silence for others. And because honoring Charity’s life means doing everything we can to prevent another family from experiencing the same loss.
