Young Mikayla Raines took her own life the other day. She ran the YouTube channel Save a Fox with her husband who found her unresponsive and proceeded to perform CPR on her to no avail.
She was on the autism spectrum, suffered from depression and borderline personality disorder. In spite of this, her videos show a vibrant soul with a zest for life and a deep love of animals which she regularly rescued from fur farms.
She received countless toxic online messages despite having mostly exuberant support and it was that hatred which pushed her to suicide.
We live in a difficult era where people's confidence and security have been deeply impacted. We need to be especially kind because of it.
