Sebastian served eight years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $4,900. Sebastian 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 $4,900 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,000 • Housing deposit and first month: $2,350 • Transport to appointments: $310 • Essential household items: $240 If you're reading this, thank you. - Kennedy

Updates from Kennedy

  1. Update from Tacoma: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($315 in total) I made the first payment toward essential household items. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

          I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Cincinnati so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Tacoma.
