Brenda served fourteen years in the army and was discharged in 2022 with post-traumatic stress. She has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $2,650. Brenda 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 $2,650 goes: • Training provider fees: $1,650 • Transport to appointments: $220 • Essential household items: $780 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Liam
