Q: An Online Acquaintance Is Depressed

I befriended this girl at this dating site called itzamatch.Com which I casually visit. She seemed to be crying for help to strangers. She says she's depressed but doesn't want to take any medication. Her dad passed away over a cardiac arrest a couple of years ago and she had to derail her schooling to work and get her siblings to finish school. Her mom's an alcoholic. Now, I don't know her personally but she's from the same town I grew up with that I just want to reach out to her. No one is and when they do, they just leave a sentence or two but that's it. I don't know what it is with this person that I am so drawn to her story.

What can I do when i'm thousands of miles away from her?
