Liliana served six years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. She has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $5,850.
Liliana 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 $5,850 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,850
• Training provider fees: $3,400
• Transport to appointments: $600
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Mateo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Toulon.
Sending love, Mateo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
