Leo served four years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $6,000.
Leo is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $6,000 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,200
• Training provider fees: $3,350
• Transport to appointments: $450
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
