I served fourteen years in the infantry and was discharged in 2025 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $2,550.
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 $2,550 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,100
• Housing deposit and first month: $970
• Transport to appointments: $210
• Essential household items: $270

Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
Stay strong, Carter. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Ogbomosho donated after I showed her your page.
Take care, Carter. Shared this with my family.
sending good thoughts, Carter. Hope this works out for you. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Take care.
You're not alone, Carter. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Rooting for you, Carter. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
