‘We all want to see Ali return home safe and as soon as possible.
‘Mum, myself and all her family love her with all our hearts and miss her dearly.
‘Ali if you are reading this, please just make contact by any means possible to let us know you are ok.
‘If anyone has seen Ali and can get a message to us we will be eternally grateful, whatever the circumstances.
‘All that matters to our family is that we know Ali is ok.’
He added: ‘We want her back with us so I and her mum can keep her safe and help her with what she is trying to deal with.
‘She wasn’t in a good place when we last saw and spoke to her, and the fact she hasn’t been in touch has us really worried.
‘Alison has two cats who she really loves, called Mollie and Oscar, and she simply wouldn’t just leave them unless she was really struggling.
‘We need people to come forward with information and would also urge Alison to get in touch.’
