Louis served four years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $1,700. Louis 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 $1,700 goes: • Transport to appointments: $310 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,100 • Essential household items: $290 Thank you so much.

Updates from Anaïs

  1. Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($257). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($186 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to appointments. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 23 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
