I served six years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting seven 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 $5,200. 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. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $5,200 goes: • Training provider fees: $3,250 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,650 • Essential household items: $300 I hope life is good to you. - Julian

Updates from Julian

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 6% funded and the plan for training provider fees is now scheduled.

  2. We're at 4% thanks to 10 of you. I made the first payment toward housing deposit and first month. More news soon.

  3. Update from San Diego: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 1% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Bogor.

          Stay strong. Shared this with my family. After 14 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from El Paso.
