Jocelyn served six years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. She has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $6,150.
Jocelyn 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 $6,150 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,700
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,450
• Transport to appointments: $300
• Essential household items: $700
Thank you so much.

Keep going, Gerald. Looking forward to the next update. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Love from Iloilo City.
Wishing you the best, Gerald. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thanks for sharing this, Gerald. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Heliopolis this morning. Love from Heliopolis
