<div>HELP MIKE REBUILD AFTER CANCER, LOSS &amp; HARDSHIP.
</div>
<div>Mike, a 75 Year-old Army veteran and former funeral director, is reaching out in a time of deep personal and financial crisis. Having served his country from 1968 to 1977 and supported others through their most difficult moments as a funeral director from 2012 to 2018, Mike is now in urgent need of support as he tries to rebuild his life following a series of devastating setbacks.
</div>
<div>Over the past few years, Mike has fought and survived rectal cancer, endured multiple term residence where he was also a carer to his former partner.
</div>
<div>After leaving in 2023 with just two weeks' notice, Mike was left without most of his belongings, having previously disposed of his household items when he moved in years prior.
</div>
<div>Mike now shares a home in Ellenbrook, Perth with a couple, where he pays $300 per week in rent and an additional $100 per week for food. On a $1,200 fortnightly pension, this leaves him with just $400 to manage all other expenses, including medical bills, car registration, insurance, and personal care items.
</div>
<div>He has no family to rely on and is facing this burden entirely alone.
</div>
<div>To make matters worse, Mike’s only vehicle was recently written off in an accident, leaving him without reliable transport. He also continues to receive monthly treatment for a small neuroendocrine tumor,requiring injection at Icon Cancer Centre, an essential but ongoing cost.
</div>
<div>He is seeking accommodation with Juniper Care, which would significantly lower his living expenses, but he cannot afford the $185 application fee or the costs of relocation and furnishing a new space.
</div>
<div>Mike is seeking to raise $15,000 to:
</div>
<div>Pay off credit card and medical debts
</div>
<div>Cover utility bills and monthly medical treatments
</div>
<div>Afford the application fee for assisted housing
</div>
<div>Purchase essential household items like a bed, fridge, and lounge
</div>
<div>Address transport-related needs and daily essentials (e.g., personal hygiene products)
</div>
<div>Despite everything, Mike remains hopeful. He has been attending mental health support sessions
</div>
<div>through Veteran Affairs' Open Arms and continues to take steps toward a healthier, more secure life.
</div>
<div>He is active, determined, and deeply grateful for any assistance that will help him regain his
</div>
<div>confidence and dignity.
</div>
<div>Mike's campaign is not a scam, it is a genuine, transparent appeal from a man who has given much in
</div>
<div>service and care, and now humbly asks for help in return. Every dollar, every share, and every act of
</div>
<div>kindness is a step toward restoring peace and stability to his life.
</div>
<div>Please consider donating or sharing this campaign with others. Let’s help Mike close this difficult chapter and move forward with strength, security, and hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mike
