Los Angeles
I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $4,050. 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 $4,050 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,250 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,050 • Transport to appointments: $430 • Essential household items: $320 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Dong

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dong

    • Dong Yong FengOwnerAnswer

      Training provider fees is $2,250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

      Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Los Angeles.

            Stay strong, Dong. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
