Birmingham
I served fourteen years in the marines and was discharged in 2025 with a service-related knee injury. 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 $3,150. 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. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $3,150 goes: • Transport to appointments: $210 • Training provider fees: $1,300 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,640 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Janet

  1. 48% there. the plan for training provider fees is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 30% now ($937). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  3. Small update. $258 so far, I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. - Janet

      Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Freiburg.

            you're not alone, Janet. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Atlanta so I could bring a meal.
