Kyung-soo served ten years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with post-traumatic stress. He has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote comes to $4,300. Kyung-soo is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $4,300 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,000 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,450 • Transport to appointments: $480 • Essential household items: $370 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Yun-seo
