After eight years of service, Violet is raising funds for a vocational welding course and tools.

Everett served eight years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $2,300.
Everett 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 $2,300 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $270
• Essential household items: $590
• Training provider fees: $1,440
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love, Violet. Shared this with my family. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Everett.
Sure. The biggest one is transport to appointments, $270. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Stay strong, Violet. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Riverside this morning. Love from Riverside
Wishing you peace, Violet. Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Newport.
Wishing you the best, Violet. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. God bless
Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Newport
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Best of luck, Violet. Shared this with my family.
