Xiang served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. He has been waiting seven 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 $3,500. Xiang 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 $3,500 goes: • Essential household items: $560 • Training provider fees: $2,150 • Housing deposit and first month: $790 Thank you for reading my story.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Shan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Montréal.

    • Stay strong, Shan. Shared this with my family.

      • Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Mukono this morning.
