I served six years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 with a back injury. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $4,600.
I'm receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and am committed to my recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'd be grateful for any help and will share updates on how I'm doing.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $4,600 goes:
• Essential household items: $640
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,250
• Training provider fees: $2,710
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going, Caleb. Shared this with my family. All the best.
shared this with my family. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Glasgow.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Poitiers.
Keep going, Caleb. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Take care, Caleb. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Rome.
