Radha served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. She has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $3,600. Radha 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 $3,600 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,700 • Essential household items: $540 • Transport to appointments: $360 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
