Mandy, 40 and Jamie Small, 11
Mandy tells Antony how, since her husband Chris took his own life in November 2016, SSAFA has been a lifeline for her and her son, Jamie. Chris served 21 years as a chef in the Royal Logistics Corp, including gruelling tours of Iraq, Bosnia, and Afghanistan. After taking voluntary redundancy in 2014, he found it difficult to adjust to civilian life and their marriage broke down.
