Grace served six years; now needs help to get home
After six years of service, Grace is raising funds for a vocational welding course and tools.

I served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,350.
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 $4,350 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,450
• Transport to appointments: $600
• Essential household items: $300
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bengaluru.
looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to The Hague so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Grace!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. training provider fees is the biggest at $3,450. It helps to be asked.
Hope things get better soon, Grace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Take care, Grace. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Love from San Francisco.
Thinking of you, Grace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
