Miles served four years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. He has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $4,000. Miles 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 $4,000 goes: β€’ Training provider fees: $3,000 β€’ Essential household items: $420 β€’ Transport to appointments: $580 With deep gratitude, Crystal
