Kandis Simmons lost her husband, Kevin Molloy, to suicide three years ago.

“My husband had schizophrenia. He didn’t even go to grocery stores,” she said. “He couldn’t come out. He came out at night … You couldn’t get a counselor to come in and see him because they all work out of offices. So you (need to) try and change the way it’s done to reach the ones that can’t seem to get out and get the help they need.”

Simmons was one of many participants in the sixth annual Journey to Hope on Saturday in Crescent Park in support of suicide prevention and awareness.
