Theodore served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. He has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $3,750.
Theodore 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 $3,750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,150
• Transport to appointments: $320
• Essential household items: $280
Every share and every dollar helps.

Best of luck. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Rooting for you, Courtney. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Sending good thoughts, Courtney. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
