Hundreds of handwritten notes with positive messages aimed at preventing suicide are posted on the bridge by Hendricks and volunteers.

In 2016, it was the second leading cause of death for people between the ages of 10 and 34. A CDC study, which was released last week, found that the suicide rate increased by 33 percent from 1999 through 2017. Hendricks said the messages save lives.

Hendricks said the notes were torn down by people who think they're an eyesore or simply have no heart. A man was caught on video this week tearing down the messages. "I'm going to take them home and I'm going to burn them," he said in the video. "That's where the dead people go -- burn. And if they don't like living on this earth, they can go live on another one."In the video, the man uses graphic language as he touts his behavior. "The fact that he was so proud of himself for getting out there and tearing them all down and calling them trash and that if people want to kill themselves, then let them do that -- it's horrible," Hendricks said.| RELATED | Vandal targets Foresthill Bridge with hateful wordsThe Placer County Sheriff's Office said the man hasn't committed a crime.

Andrew Scott said in a statement said.It's not clear if the man is responsible for removing the notes in the past. The sheriff's office said Hendricks and her organization have permission from the county to put up the messages. Hendricks said Notes of Hope will keep re-posting the supportive messages.Learn more about the Notes of Hope: Suicide Prevention effort and how you can get involved here.***If you or someone you know needs help, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
