Keith served eight years in the navy and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $5,250.
Keith 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 $5,250 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,650
• Transport to appointments: $270
• Essential household items: $530

Rooting for you, Sophia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Sophia. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Brisbane
Thank you. If you're in Brisbane I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you peace, Sophia. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Saket.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Taguig
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Depok but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Depok!
