Owen served eight years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. He has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $1,700. Owen 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 $1,700 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $1,100 • Essential household items: $370 • Transport to appointments: $230 I hope life is good to you. - Luna

    So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Lansing but we're thinking of you.

        Praying for you. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Brescia so I could bring a meal. All the best

          stay strong, Luna. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
