In a positive turn of events, 17-year-old actor Jack Veal, known for his role as Kid Loki in Marvel's "Loki" series, has received promising news after sharing his struggles with homelessness on social media.
After posting a series of candid TikTok videos about living in an unsafe trailer in London, Veal announced that social services have reached out to discuss potential foster care and accommodation support.
"I just got a call from social services saying they want a meeting with me tomorrow," Veal shared emotionally in his latest update. "They're actually doing something now."
The young British actor had previously revealed he left home due to alleged physical and emotional abuse. Unable to stay with his grandparents due to his grandfather's terminal illness, Veal found himself sleeping in a trailer with broken windows, located two hours from his workplace.
In his initial video, Veal opened up about his personal challenges, including autism, ADHD, and ongoing screenings for other conditions. His main goal was to raise awareness about youth homelessness and the challenges in accessing support services.
The actor's story quickly gained traction across social media platforms, with many followers offering support and temporary housing solutions. However, Veal emphasized his focus was on receiving proper assistance through official channels.
While maintaining his acting career, with appearances in shows like "The End of the F---ing World" and "The Peripheral," Veal is also pursuing work as a personal trainer. His TikTok profile directs supporters to donate to Lost Soul Charity, an organization helping homeless individuals with accommodation and basic necessities.
As Veal awaits his meeting with social services, he expressed deep gratitude to those who shared his story: "I don't know what you guys have done, but it's gotten out there and really helped me."
