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.
