Gabriel served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $3,350.
Gabriel 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 $3,350 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,850
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,000
• Transport to appointments: $330
• Essential household items: $170
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Mumbai.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Greetings from București
Thinking of you, Hazel. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Hamilton.
So sorry you're going through this, Hazel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 13 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Kampala.
