Rafael served ten years in the army and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $4,550.
Rafael 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 $4,550 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,500
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,000
• Transport to appointments: $280
• Essential household items: $770
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Has the training provider quote been checked by the HelpBLESS team?
I sent the training provider quote in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. Happy to explain more.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings!
