Helping a Tradesman Rebuild After Injury and Hardship
GIVIT
This gentleman, now in his mid-30s, is working hard to rebuild his life after facing immense hardship. Despite a difficult childhood marked by significant trauma, he built a successful painting business through determination and hard work.
Three years ago, his life changed dramatically after a serious workplace injury left him with a spinal condition and ongoing chronic pain. In an effort to manage the pain and keep working, he developed an addiction to prescription medication, which led to a downward spiral. Over time, his physical and mental health declined, and he eventually lost both his business and his sense of stability.
He is now engaging with our program to address his tenancy issues and find a safe, stable home as he focuses on rebuilding his life. A key part of this journey involves renewing his trade certificates and work documents, many of which come with significant costs.
We are seeking financial donations to help him cover these expenses to rebuild his life.
