I served four years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $3,650. 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 $3,650 goes: • Transport to appointments: $410 • Training provider fees: $2,750 • Essential household items: $490 With deep gratitude, Yu

Updates from Yu

  1. Quick update: $681 raised so far (19%). the plan for training provider fees is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $431 so far, the plan for training provider fees is now scheduled.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($290). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.

    • what exactly is the $3,650 for?

        The list at the bottom is the whole picture. transport to appointments is the biggest at $410. Ask me anything else.

    • Sending good thoughts, Yu. Hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Siliguri.

      • looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Faisalabad.

        • wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours.

          • praying for you, Yu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of San Diego.

            • Good luck, Yu. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
