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.
so sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
