Charles served four years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $6,000.
Charles 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 $6,000 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,750
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,450
• Transport to appointments: $380
• Essential household items: $420
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thanks for sharing this, Eleanor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
