I recently upgraded my ute, and instead of selling my old one, I decided to do something different.

I’m giving it away to an apprentice.

If you’ve been through an apprenticeship or you’re in one now, you know how tough it is. Low pay, rising costs, long days, and trying to build a future with limited support. I’ve been there myself, and I know how much harder it feels today.

This ute isn’t about a handout. It’s about backing someone who’s showing up, putting in the work, and trying to build a life through the trades.

The goal of this GoFundMe is to get the ute fixed up properly so it’s reliable, safe, and can last the rest of an apprentice’s time on the tools. Every dollar raised goes directly toward repairs and setup. Nothing else.

This year, this is about helping one apprentice level up. One person getting a real opportunity and a bit of breathing room while they do the hard yards.

If this helps even one bloke stay in the trade and keep moving forward, it’s worth it.

Thanks for being part of it.
