A service dog for Axel, a marines veteran in Sydney
A marines veteran in Sydney needs help with a first month of rent and transport to job interviews after leaving service with a back injury.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia3,144 views
I served ten years in the marines and was discharged in 2022 with a back injury. I have been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $3,750.
I'm receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and am committed to my recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'd be grateful for any help and will share updates on how I'm doing.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,650
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,300
• Transport to appointments: $240
• Essential household items: $560
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Axel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
sending love. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Sydney
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Palmira
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Lagos.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Axel. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Hang in there, Axel. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Kassel.
So sorry you're going through this, Axel. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
