I served fourteen years in the army and was discharged in 2025 with a back injury. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $6,000.
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.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $6,000 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,150
• Transport to appointments: $550
• Essential household items: $500
If you're reading this, thank you.
- Natalie

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Laredo
Thank you. If you're in Laredo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Best of luck, Natalie. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Miami so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Salvador.
Take care, Natalie. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Laredo.
