I served eight years in the infantry and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting eleven 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 $3,450.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,850
• Housing deposit and first month: $910
• Transport to appointments: $320
• Essential household items: $370
With deep gratitude,
Thomas
