Henry served six years in the army and was discharged in 2022 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting nine 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 $5,900.
Henry is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $5,900 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,000
• Transport to appointments: $590
• Essential household items: $510
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Oakland
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
keep going, Crystal. Hope you get there. God bless.
