Sally’s story
“I was on drugs and on the streets for 20 years. I knew that was bad, but that’s all I knew” Sally
Sally had been through years of pain — abandonment, rejection, addiction. She often arrived first at Webber Street (our day centre) not because she expected solutions, but simply to feel seen.
At Christmas, we set up a tree. She said, “I hadn’t seen one in years… it was just a happy atmosphere.”
But that warmth was just the start.
How it changed
In 2022, Grace Church partnered with us to host an evening meal. Bisi, a church volunteer, discovered she and Sally shared the same birthday and brought her a birthday card.
“It’s been such a long time since anyone got me a birthday card.” That small act pierced her heart, opening the way for gospel conversations and a new life.
Eventually, Sally committed her life to Jesus. Today, she is clean for over a year and a half. She has a flat, a faith community, and has been baptised.
But there are many more people who need to receive the warm welcome and hear about Jesus? This Christmas, could you help someone like Sally hear about Jesus?
