Weston served six years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $2,600. Weston 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 $2,600 goes: โ€ข Training provider fees: $2,100 โ€ข Essential household items: $270 โ€ข Transport to appointments: $230 Thank you so much. - Lucy

      Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Manila!
