Frank served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2021 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $3,750.
Frank 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 $3,750 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $610
• Training provider fees: $2,100
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,040
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Best of luck, Lily. Shared this with my family. After 11 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
