I served fourteen years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $3,700.
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 $3,700 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,300
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,650
• Transport to appointments: $370
• Essential household items: $380
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Raymond
Quick update: $656 raised so far (18%). the plan for training provider fees is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Keep going. Shared this with my family. Love from Epe
thinking of you and your family, Raymond. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Keep going. Hope you get there. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Edinburgh.
