Veteran in need: Julien's next mission is stability

I served four years in the air force and was discharged in 2022 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $1,900. 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 $1,900 goes: • Essential household items: $390 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,250 • Transport to appointments: $260 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Julien

    Quick response, great follow-up

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

        Thanks for sharing this, Julien. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Dasmariñas so I could bring a meal.
