I served ten years in the marines and was discharged in 2022 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $3,600.
I'm receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and am committed to my recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'd be grateful for any help and will share updates on how I'm doing.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,500
• Transport to appointments: $310
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,790
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
best of luck, Araceli. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
hang in there, Araceli. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
