I served four years in the infantry and was discharged in 2025 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 deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $5,450. 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. I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden. Where the $5,450 goes: • Training provider fees: $2,400 • Housing deposit and first month: $2,150 • Transport to appointments: $390 • Essential household items: $510 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Samuel

Updates from Samuel

  1. Small update. $1,680 so far, the plan for housing deposit and first month is now scheduled.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($877). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts.
