I served six years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting eleven 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 $3,700.
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 $3,700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,100
• Essential household items: $450
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,150
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Ngân
Update from San Diego: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 9% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
