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 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Maëlle
