Help Maëlle get back to civilian life: housing deposit and training
After six years of service, Maëlle is raising funds for a first month of rent and transport to job interviews.
🇫🇷 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France2,707 views
Jean served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. He has been waiting eleven 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 $3,350.
Jean 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 $3,350 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,650
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,000
• Transport to appointments: $290
• Essential household items: $410
