I served eight years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $3,650.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Transport to appointments: $350
• Essential household items: $500
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone, Daniel. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
