I served twelve years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with a back injury. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a vocational welding course and tools. The quote I have comes to $2,850. 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 $2,850 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,050 • Transport to appointments: $420 • Essential household items: $380 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Zoe

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 38% funded and I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Quick update: $495 raised so far (17%). the plan for transport to appointments is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($343). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for essential household items is now scheduled.

    So sorry you're going through this, Zoe. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Syracuse.

      Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
