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: โ€ข Transport to appointments: $360 โ€ข Essential household items: $240 โ€ข Training provider fees: $950 Thank you for reading my story.

      Stay strong, Fatoumata. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Nashik.
