Ximena served ten years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. She has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $3,350.
Ximena 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 $3,350 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,100
• Transport to appointments: $620
• Essential household items: $630
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this, Roman. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ximena!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. housing deposit and first month comes first ($2,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Rooting for you, Roman. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Thinking of you, Roman. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.
