Logan served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. He has been waiting seven months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $2,600. Logan is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $2,600 goes: • Transport to appointments: $320 • Training provider fees: $1,900 • Essential household items: $380 With deep gratitude, Madeline

    Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
