José served eight years in the infantry and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $5,250.
José 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 $5,250 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,850
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,950
• Essential household items: $450
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
