I served eight years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. I have been waiting seven 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 $1,550.
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.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $360
• Essential household items: $240
• Training provider fees: $950
Thank you for reading my story.

rooting for you, Fatoumata. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Boulogne-Billancourt
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport to appointments, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Stay strong, Fatoumata. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Nashik.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Take care
thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt.
Take care, Fatoumata. Hope you get there. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. All the best.
