Sergio served fourteen years in the marines and was discharged in 2025 with a back injury. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $5,150. Sergio is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $5,150 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $1,800 • Training provider fees: $3,050 • Transport to appointments: $300 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
