Veteran in need: Alejandra's next mission is stability
An engineering corps veteran in Dallas needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with a back injury.
🇺🇸 United States674 views
I served four years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2023 with a back 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 $1,900.
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 $1,900 goes:
• Essential household items: $480
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,000
• Transport to appointments: $420
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Take care, Alejandra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you the best, Alejandra. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Alcalá de Henares.
Stay strong, Alejandra. I hope things turn around soon.
