I served twelve years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting nine 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 $1,100.
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 $1,100 goes:
• Training provider fees: $780
• Essential household items: $50
• Housing deposit and first month: $270
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out, Irina. Hope you get there. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Take care, Irina. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Kyiv!
good luck, Irina. Shared it with a few friends.
rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Yonkers
