Last winter, Caitlyn fell into a deep depression and became suicidal. It was Doug Merrill who noticed the change in her personality and got her help. She sees him as a "second father." Doug urges anyone who sees a friend in trouble to tell someone in order to get help. "Doug looked at me and said, 'I'm not going to lose you,'" says Caitlyn.
