Samuel served six years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. He has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $3,450.
Samuel 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 $3,450 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,200
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,150
• Transport to appointments: $440
• Essential household items: $660

Hope things get better soon, Quinn. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Good luck, Quinn. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Best of luck, Quinn. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Sending love, Quinn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Wishing you peace, Quinn. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Springfield
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
