I served eight years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting nine 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 $5,400.
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 $5,400 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,250
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,950
• Transport to appointments: $430
• Essential household items: $770
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you peace, Kevin. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Derry but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you, Kevin. Shared this with my family
hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
