The Ronald B. Mickelson Army Story
Here is a health story of physical and psychological maltreatment of a middle age man with a chronic illness:
My name is Ronald B. Mickelson and my reason for writing you today is to bring your attention to the consideration and discrimination that I have received from the Salvation Army Church for the last year while being medically treated for a chronic illness of the liver.
There seems to be little appreciation or knowledge of the day-to-day suffering one goes though with the Hepaticas C virus. When I began my medical treatment, I was living at the semi- independent living quarters and was a volunteer and employee at the Salvation Army’s Centre of Hope here in Abbotsford, B.C. Their administration staff was aware of and kept well informed of my medical progress and how to manage the difficult side effects with this illness. I would like this incident chronicled by you for examination and support.
I am simply the man who has been through this experience resulting in emotional trauma and very painful memories. It is very possible that the Salvation Army will be doomed to repeat these kinds of errors again if not held to some kind of godly resolution of this situation for their decisions.
I have 12 months of correspondence between the Salvation Army and myself in the form of e-mails, faxes and letters. Some of the topics you will read are: 1) a fight between myself and the independent living quarters supervisor( short time recovering addict ) that could have and should have been avoided 2) that myself and a Salvation Army staff supervisor were denied access to my personal belongings and was refused access to my daily medication needed for my chronic illness of the liver 3) was placed on the street with nowhere to go and was refused emergency shelter that endanger my heath and well being 4) That I tried to end my life as a result to all of this .5) How Major Ron Cartmell met with me in a back of a coffee shop where he tells me that* the Salvation Army dropped the ball *with me .Hour later he comes by my house and passes me $40.00 to help with the costs incurred for their oversight.5) The Divisional Command of British Columbia Major Stan Folkins promises me a public apologize at the Salvation Army Cascade Church . Which he does not carry out. You will also read a few twists and turns about the Centre of Hope regarding how and why this all came to exist.
You may contact me at ronaldb_55@yahoo.ca for a more in depth report
and investigation on this material of principal and health.
Sincerely,
Ronald B. Mickelson
