I served fourteen years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 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 $5,700.
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 $5,700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,950
• Transport to appointments: $420
• Essential household items: $530
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Guadalupe!
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. Good question.
