Frank served four years in the air force and was discharged in 2022 with hearing damage and PTSD. He has been waiting eleven 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 $5,200.
Frank 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 $5,200 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,650
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,450
• Transport to appointments: $510
• Essential household items: $590
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Megan
Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($670). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for transport to appointments is now scheduled.
