I served fourteen years in the navy and was discharged in 2023 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 $4,250. 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 $4,250 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,850 • Housing deposit and first month: $1,200 • Transport to appointments: $200 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Peyton

  1. Quick update: $1,858 raised so far (44%). the plan for transport to appointments is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($698). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  3. Small update. $1,248 so far, we've started the first stage.
