Veteran in need: Katherine's next mission is stability
A marines veteran in Birmingham needs help with a vocational welding course and tools after leaving service with a back injury.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom535 views
I served four years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. I have been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $4,250.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,150
• Training provider fees: $2,700
• Essential household items: $400
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

sending good thoughts, Katherine. I hope things turn around soon. After 22 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
