Veteran in need: Colton's next mission is stability
An air force veteran in Los Angeles needs help with a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment after leaving service with chronic tinnitus.
🇺🇸 United States3,623 views
Willow served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with chronic tinnitus. She has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $3,400.
Willow 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 $3,400 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Essential household items: $260
• Transport to appointments: $340
With deep gratitude,
Colton

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Willow?
Thank you. If you're in Los Angeles I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending good thoughts, Colton. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Love from Muzaffarpur
Wishing you the best, Colton. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Los Angeles.

Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.

Thinking of you, Colton. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Chicago
