I served four years in the navy and was discharged in 2025 with chronic tinnitus. I have been waiting seven 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 $4,650. 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 $4,650 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,650 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,350 • Transport to appointments: $400 • Essential household items: $250 Thank you for reading my story. - Nicolas

  • Praying for you, Nicolas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

    • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nicolas?

        Thank you. If you're in Regina I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

    • Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Regina

      • thinking of you and your family, Nicolas. I hope things turn around soon.

          Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Lafayette.
