Lawrence served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $3,000. Lawrence is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $3,000 goes: • Transport to appointments: $390 • Essential household items: $260 • Housing deposit and first month: $2,350 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • praying for you, Madelyn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.

    • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lawrence

      • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to appointments comes first ($390) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
