I served four years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $250. I'm receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and am committed to my recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. I'd be grateful for any help and will share updates on how I'm doing. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $250 goes: • Transport to appointments: $70 • Essential household items: $45 • Housing deposit and first month: $135 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Radha

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($45 in total) the plan for housing deposit and first month is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
