I served fourteen years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $600.
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 $600 goes:
• Training provider fees: $220
• Housing deposit and first month: $250
• Transport to appointments: $45
• Essential household items: $85
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Godwin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Cairo.
