Seven years ago, Helen Galsworthy reached a point of depression in her life where she no longer wanted to live. At just 18 years old, Helen became a double amputee after lying down in front of a train, attempting to take her own life. God clearly had other plans for this beautiful young woman, as she woke up from her failed suicide attempt, very much alive. Although narrowly escaping death, the blow from the train severed both of her legs from the knee down.
Now at 25 years old Helen says it took her quite some time to adjust to the loss of both of her legs. However, she has finally come to terms with being an amputee and has found new purpose in life, her beautiful baby boy.
Although she worries about explaining to her son, Thomas, how she lost her legs, she has thankfully found happiness. Her Son, her family and her boyfriend all support her along her journey and she has even found joy in volunteering with charities and organizations to help others with depression.
