I served fourteen years in the infantry and was discharged in 2022 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting eleven 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 $4,100. 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 $4,100 goes: • Training provider fees: $1,900 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,050 • Transport to appointments: $420 • Essential household items: $730 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Marisol

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marisol.

    • Marisol T. CamposOwnerAnswerID verifiedPhoto verified

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. training provider fees comes first ($1,900) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

    you're not alone, Marisol. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.

      Thinking of you, Marisol. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Love from San Antonio.
