Ensure no lifesaving calls go unanswered
When John* called Lifeline Sydney & Sutherland, he was cold and alone in his van as thunder rumbled like distant artillery. Each boom dragged him back to memories he’d fought to forget.
Taking his own life felt like the only way out, but in one last show of strength, he picked up his phone.
John’s story is a reminder of the silent battles veterans face long after service. PTSD can leave people trapped in distress, but one call can mean hope.
