I served fourteen years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $3,300.
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 $3,300 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,350
• Housing deposit and first month: $930
• Transport to appointments: $460
• Essential household items: $560
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Emily. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
hope it all works out, Emily. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Manchester.
I hope things turn around soon. After 11 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Sending strength, Emily. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Palmira.
Wishing you peace, Emily. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Emily. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Mangaluru.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
