Clara served fourteen years in the infantry and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. She 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 $4,700. Clara 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 $4,700 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,450 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,150 • Transport to appointments: $430 • Essential household items: $670 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Roman

                Training provider fees is $2,450 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
