I served fourteen years in the infantry and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $4,350. 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 $4,350 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,100 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,300 • Transport to appointments: $480 • Essential household items: $470 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Peyton

          Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about training provider fees, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
