I served four years in the air force and was discharged in 2022 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 $4,550.
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 $4,550 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,100
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,650
• Transport to appointments: $470
• Essential household items: $330
With deep gratitude,
Marisol

hope things get better soon, Marisol. I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
good luck, Marisol. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
