I served twelve years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting nine 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 $5,600. 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 $5,600 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,400 • Housing deposit and first month: $2,150 • Transport to appointments: $540 • Essential household items: $510 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Arianna

Updates from Arianna

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arianna.

        • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. training provider fees comes first ($2,400) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.

      • Good luck, Arianna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Coventry
