Hamilton
I served twelve years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. 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 $3,550. 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 $3,550 goes: • Essential household items: $410 • Transport to appointments: $340 • Training provider fees: $2,800 Thanks for being kind about this. - Natalie

Updates from Natalie

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,447 in total) I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $779 raised so far (22%). the plan for essential household items is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
