Debbie has lived in New York for 50 years and told Newsmax, "Trump saved my life, literally."
"My dad and my mom passed at the same time. I was in a bad place. I was going towards the Brooklyn Bridge, don't ask me why, but I was."
Debbie explained that she ran into Trump on her way to the bridge.
"He was at a friend's birthday party," Debbie explained. When he saw her passing by in tears, he gently grabbed her arm and asked if she was ok.
"He said, 'I don't know what you're going to do right now, but whatever it is, forget about it,'" she explained. "Take it out of your head, your mom and dad wouldn't want that," she recounted him saying.
She said that the future president stayed with her and talked until she had forgotten all about her plan to end her life.
As they departed, he asked to pray for her and slipped a folded-up $100 bill into the palm of her hand.
"He saved my life," she reaffirmed through tears.
