I served six years in the infantry and was discharged in 2024 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,650. 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 $4,650 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,400 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,600 • Transport to appointments: $320 • Essential household items: $330 Thank you for reading my story.

    Good luck, Liang. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Porto Alegre donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Porto Alegre

      take care, Liang. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 36 people at work.

          So sorry you're going through this, Liang. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Dnipro but we're thinking of you. God bless.
