I served twelve years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $3,850.
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 $3,850 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,850
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,250
• Transport to appointments: $290
• Essential household items: $460
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you the best, Axel. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Surat
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 15 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending strength, Axel. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
