Raymond served ten years in the infantry and was discharged in 2022 with chronic tinnitus. He has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $2,450. Raymond 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 $2,450 goes: โ€ข Transport to appointments: $470 โ€ข Training provider fees: $960 โ€ข Housing deposit and first month: $1,020 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Courtney

Updates from Courtney

  1. Small update. $785 so far, the plan for transport to appointments is now scheduled.

  2. Small update. $510 so far, I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($135 in total) I made the first payment toward training provider fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
