It is just what I need at this stage in my life

“In my younger years, I spent seven years working for the US Navy on a nuclear carrier. This was during the 90s and because the work was so intense you could make over $100,000 a year. It was really hard work with long days but a great way to see the world while I was young. I loved this life right up until the day I met my wife. It was a life-changing moment that made leaving the navy easy. I had many amazing years with my true love and re-trained to become a chef. My life seemed to be turning out alright but suddenly everything changed with the death of my wife. This sent me into a tailspin and forced me into alcohol addiction and unemployment. This went on for many years in the US until finally, I decided I needed a change. I flipped a coin to see if I would move to New Zealand or Australia. I moved to Melbourne for nine months and now find myself in Brisbane. At this stage in my life, I am sleeping on the street but feel safe where I am. I have dealt with my drinking issue and am now working towards my next step in life. I access Orange Sky laundry and showers about twice a week and enjoy the interaction. It is just what I need at this stage in my life.”
