Have you ever saved someone's life?

Some years ago I was corresponding on the internet with a teenager (we were members of a music forum) from another country. At a certain point he got very depressed and was thinking of suicide. From that point on I tried everything in my power to contact his family. He wrote back to me that his family had been contacted because I had sent this contact a message that they should find out if this boy was okay. His family got so worried about his depression that they arranged for him to get special help. Later his sister emailed me and said that he was doing fine and that they were very grateful that they could have helped him after they had been alarmed. (I later discovered that in hs coutnry the suicide rate among teenagers was pretty high) What about you? Was anyone of you at the right place on the right time? Tell me your stories.
