Chicago
I served fourteen years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting seven 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 $5,600. 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 $5,600 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,600 • Housing deposit and first month: $2,100 • Transport to appointments: $370 • Essential household items: $530 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

      You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.

            hang in there, Hang. I hope things turn around soon. After 18 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Chicago
