Seth
Seth is a 29-year-old Iraqi war vet who was discharged here in San Diego and told to find his way home. He had visible scars from an IED explosion, shrapnel wounds, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder anxiety, but maintained a good sense of humor even though he had been living on the streets for four weeks. He came to Travelers Aid after someone told him he might find help here, and our case manager set him up with the Work Your Way Home program because he did not want charity. His ticket home amounted to $132.00 after our discount. The Downtown Partnership was very understanding, and instead of working him for the thirteen hours necessary to pay for the ticket, worked him one eight-hour shift, supplied Seth with dinner, and made sure we could get him out of town on Thursday, November 19. Travelers Aid provided him with the bus ticket, transportation to the bus station, food for his travel, and a few dollars to help him home. He has a job lined up near Waco, Texas, and is looking forward to getting back to “normal” and living with his mother. He has VA services lined up in Texas for his PTSD, and has enough meds for his trip home.
