The Salvos attended the office of a prominent lawyer, soliciting donations for The Red Shield Appeal.
He said to them "Are you aware that both my parents are in a nursing home? .. Did you know that my sister is the mother of 4 children under the age of six, and is raising them on her own, because her husband was killed in a traffic accident? ... and I also have a twin brother who is homeless, and living on the streets?"
"Errr, no, sorry, we were unaware of that"
"Well!" he said "If I don't help them, then why should I make a donation to you?"
