Help Camille get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
After fourteen years of service, Camille is raising funds for a vocational welding course and tools.
🇺🇸 United States1,764 views
I served fourteen years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $2,600.
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 $2,600 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $480
• Essential household items: $740
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,380
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this, Camille. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Camille?

Good luck, Camille. Shared it with a few friends.
