I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2021 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting eleven 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 $3,350. 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 $3,350 goes: • Transport to appointments: $195 • Training provider fees: $1,300 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,855 Every share and every dollar helps.

    This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

  • So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 30 people at work. Love from Gangnam.

    • Hope things get better soon, Jocelyn. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Flint so I could bring a meal. Take care.

      • Thinking of you and your family, Jocelyn. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Liverpool

        • Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

          • hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.

            • Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Pretoria donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Pretoria

              • Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Hồ Chí Minh City but we're thinking of you. God bless.

                • Praying for you, Jocelyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
