Elias served fourteen years in the engineering corps and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. He has been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote comes to $3,550.
Elias 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 $3,550 goes:
• Essential household items: $340
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,400
• Training provider fees: $1,810
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending good thoughts, Natalie. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Saket this morning. Blessings
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Breda but we're thinking of you!
