Delilah served twelve years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with hearing damage and PTSD. She has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $3,700.
Delilah 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 $3,700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,150
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,000
• Transport to appointments: $250
• Essential household items: $300
Thank you for reading my story.

Rooting for you, Mason. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Aberdeen.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 13 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Delilah.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. training provider fees is the biggest at $2,150. Happy to explain more.
Stay strong, Mason. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 27 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. Thinking of London.
Rooting for you, Mason. Hope you get there. Take care
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Duluth donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
