Marisol served eight years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. She 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 $6,000.
Marisol 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 $6,000 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,550
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,500
• Transport to appointments: $240
• Essential household items: $710
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Cape Town
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Glendale.
