Xmas Gift - Kmart - $20

This young person has faced significant challenges from an early age, including exposure to neglect, domestic violence, and substance abuse. Removed from parental care at 12, he lived in multiple foster placements before choosing to self-place with his dad—a decision that reflects his resilience and desire for family connection. However, this choice means he does not receive the same level of benefits and support as those in formal care arrangements.
Now 15, he is balancing school with part-time work to help cover living expenses and save for a car. His ultimate goal is to build a stable, independent future. Next year, he hopes to start an apprenticeship that combines hands-on learning with continued education—an opportunity that aligns perfectly with his passion for practical work and natural talent for mechanics. Despite his determination and hard work, financial pressures remain a constant challenge for him and his dad, who also works part-time.
