Help Justin Achieve His Dream Career & Rebuild His Life
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
I'm starting this GoFundMe for my incredible friend, Justin, who is facing some significant challenges and needs our urgent support to turn his life around. Justin was born with cerebral palsy, and against all odds, he defied expectations by learning to walk – a testament to his incredible strength and determination.
Life recently threw Justin a devastating curveball. His fiancé left him, taking her daughter (who Justin loved and considered his own) with her and cutting off all contact. This heartbreaking separation forced Justin to leave his home in Wollongong and move back to Armidale to be with his family, seeking comfort and stability during an incredibly difficult time.
Despite being on the Disability Support Pension, Justin has always strived for independence and a brighter future. For years, he diligently searched for employment, but unfortunately, he has been unsuccessful in finding work. Refusing to give up, in 2024, Justin bravely embarked on a new path, enrolling in qualifications for a career in cybersecurity – a field he is passionate about and one that offers real opportunities for him.
However, the unexpected upheaval of his fiancé leaving and the forced relocation have created immense financial strain. Justin has been struggling to make the necessary payments for his course materials and crucial exams.
Here's where we can make a direct and immediate impact:
Justin urgently needs $6,000 before July 27th, 2025, to continue pursuing his dream. This amount is broken down as follows:
$3,000: To pay off the remaining costs for his current course materials and upcoming exams. Without this, he won't be able to complete his qualifications.
$3,000: To extend his access to vital course materials. This extension is critical to ensure he has the time and resources he needs to master the complex subject matter and succeed.
Justin has overcome so much in his life, and his perseverance in the face of adversity is truly inspiring. He's not asking for a handout; he's asking for a hand up to continue building a life he's worked so hard for. Securing these qualifications will not only open doors to employment but also provide him with the stability and confidence he needs to rebuild after such a profound loss.
Every dollar, no matter how small, will bring Justin closer to achieving his goals and regaining control over his future. Please consider donating and sharing Justin's story with your networks. Let's show him he's not alone and help him complete this crucial chapter in his journey.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support.
