I served four years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 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 first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $2,250.
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 $2,250 goes:
• Essential household items: $180
• Transport to appointments: $400
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,670
I hope life is good to you.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 22 people at work. Take care
Thinking of you, Brooklyn. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Keep going, Brooklyn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Saint-Denis donated after I showed her your page
take care, Brooklyn. I hope things turn around soon
Sending good thoughts, Brooklyn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Melbourne.
