I served eight years in the infantry and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,800.
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 $4,800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,300
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,450
• Transport to appointments: $520
• Essential household items: $530
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Glendale so I could bring a meal
Good luck, Aylin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
praying for you, Aylin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update.
