I served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $4,500. 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. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $4,500 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $2,300 • Transport to appointments: $400 • Training provider fees: $1,800 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
