\"\"<\/a>For 20 years, Richard Andruchow enjoyed a successful career in car sales.<\/p>\n

In 2009, he had a stroke. Then there was a fire in his building, he went through a court case, and had nowhere to live.<\/p>\n

Richard ended up homeless and became a client of The Salvation Army Windsor Centre of Hope and its spiritual care, housing, community and family services, counselling, and emergency shelter programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was released from the justice system and into the care of the shelter system in Windsor, Ontario,\u201d Richard recalls. \u201cThe biggest challenge is getting yourself through the day in a mentally fit fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supporting Richard through those challenges is where Chaplain and Spiritual Care Manager Adam White enters the picture.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Salvation Army came on my radar when it was suggested that I meet with Adam White. It got me to this point where I could talk to a human being on a level that was not solely addressing the issue of homelessness.\u201d<\/p>\n
