I served eight years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting eleven 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 $2,500. 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 $2,500 goes: • Training provider fees: $1,400 • Transport to appointments: $340 • Housing deposit and first month: $760 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Louise

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Louise.

    • Louise ColletOwnerAnswerAddress verified

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. training provider fees comes first ($1,400) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.

  • Zenaida E. Mercado

    Wishing you the best, Louise. Shared this with my family. After 28 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
