I served six years in the infantry 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 $450.
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 $450 goes:
• Transport to appointments: $65
• Training provider fees: $360
• Essential household items: $25
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Kasarani.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Zaria.
