Emily served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. She has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $5,700.
Emily is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $5,700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,550
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,100
• Transport to appointments: $450
• Essential household items: $600
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 4 people at work. Thinking of Melbourne.
Best of luck, Craig. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Gqeberha.
keep going, Craig. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 17 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
