I served fourteen years in the air force and was discharged in 2024 with a back injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $350. 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 $350 goes: • Transport to appointments: $55 • Essential household items: $35 • Housing deposit and first month: $260 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Pooja
