Megan served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. She 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 $6,050. Megan 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 $6,050 goes: • Training provider fees: $3,850 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,450 • Transport to appointments: $460 • Essential household items: $290 Thanks for being kind about this.

  3. Update from Austin: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
