Today, we’re excited to share Jay’s inspiring story. Jay, who has been with Kanda (formerly Southern Cross Support Services and Programmed Care) for over three years, is a music lover with a passion for 80’s rock and heavy metal, especially the iconic band Iron Maiden.
When Jay learned about Iron Maiden’s Australian tour, he was thrilled and, with a little help from his support team, booked his tickets an entire year in advance. This was a huge step for Jay, as he had never attended a live concert at this scale before.
As the concert date approached, Jay began feeling anxious about being in a large crowd. At one point, he even considered not going. However, his support team was there to reassure him. They reminded him that everyone at the concert was there for the same reason: to enjoy the music and have a good time.
With their encouragement, Jay decided to face his fears. He went to the concert, and from the moment the music started, it was clear that he made the right choice. Jay found himself singing, cheering, and taking pictures on his phone, completely immersed in the experience. For those few hours, his worries seemed to fade away, replaced by pure joy.
Attending the concert gave Jay a newfound confidence in being in large crowds. He is now looking forward to attending more events, whether it’s another music concert or even a sports match. Stories like Jay’s are a reminder of how overcoming challenges can lead to incredible experiences.
We couldn’t be more proud of his bravery and growth!
