I served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2022 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $4,150.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $770
• Transport to appointments: $410
• Essential household items: $170
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for David
Training provider fees is $2,800 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Tel Aviv.

best of luck, David. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Córdoba so I could bring a meal
Best of luck, David. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tel Aviv.
Thank you. If you're in Tel Aviv I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Badagry donated after I showed her your page.
You're not alone, David. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
keep going, David. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hope things get better soon, David. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Tel Aviv

Thinking of you and your family, David. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 19 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
thanks for sharing this, David. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
