Veteran in need: Jose's next mission is stability
After ten years of service, Jose is raising funds for a first month of rent and transport to job interviews.

I served ten years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $5,300.
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 $5,300 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,250
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,250
• Transport to appointments: $420
• Essential household items: $380
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Jose
Good news. Because of your gifts ($250 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $310 so far, the plan for essential household items is now scheduled.

Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Coventry
Hope this works out for you. Love from Narayanganj.
Good luck, Jose. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Jose. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 40 people at work. Blessings
