Harper served six years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. She has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $4,400. Harper is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $4,400 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $1,550 • Essential household items: $420 • Training provider fees: $2,430 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
