I served fourteen years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting seven 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 $1,700. 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 $1,700 goes: • Transport to appointments: $320 • Essential household items: $210 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,170 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Noah

  • Stay strong, Noah. Looking forward to the next update.

    • Thinking of you, Noah. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 37 people at work

      • I hope things turn around soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.

        • so sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of San Jose.

          • Hope this works out for you. After 30 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            • Hang in there, Noah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best!

                Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of San Jose.

                • Thanks for sharing this, Noah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
