Josephine served fourteen years; now needs help to get home
After fourteen years of service, Josephine is raising funds for a vocational welding course and tools.
🇳🇿 New Zealand5,974 views
I served fourteen years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $5,300.
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 $5,300 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,850
• Transport to appointments: $390
• Essential household items: $260
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you, Josephine. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Sending strength, Josephine. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Hamilton.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Hồ Chí Minh City this morning. God bless
Take care, Josephine. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Best of luck, Josephine. This could happen to any of us.
wishing you the best, Josephine. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Hamilton.
