I served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. 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 $1,850.
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 $1,850 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,300
• Essential household items: $260
• Transport to appointments: $290
Thank you for reading my story.

This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Shinjuku donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Shinjuku.
Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Khon Kaen.
Praying for you, Kai. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Casablanca.
Thanks for sharing this, Kai. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
