I served fourteen years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting eleven 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 $4,250.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,300
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,100
• Transport to appointments: $370
• Essential household items: $480
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this, Isaac. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Any update on how things are going in Derry?
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Thinking of Derry.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Isaac
Sure. The biggest one is training provider fees, $2,300. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
Good luck, Isaac. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. All the best.
stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Dayton.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
take care, Isaac. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
