Re: The Sally Army And Me.
I watched the programme
Paul O'Grady is a really likable chap and a dog lover, an added bonus.
The SA have a day center near here where meals are served daily, I always used to take them tins of biscuits at Christmas. I hope the programme will make more people aware of the services the Salvation Army provide which are invaluable to many.
Some years ago my Brother came home from work to find his wife gone, he thought she was just out but as the hour went by he discovered most of her possessions were missing too. There had been no argument or indication of her intention to leave, nothing. The police were not interested saying she was an adult and could choose to leave if she wished.
My Dad had friends in the SA and suggested my brother contacted them. Within days they had traced her to a seaside town where she was staying with another man.
It was not an easy time for my Brother but at least he knew his wife was safe and was able to reassure the rest of her family whom she had failed to tell about her decision to leave.
We will always be grateful to the SA for their help.
