I served twelve years in the marines and was discharged in 2024 with hearing damage and PTSD. I have been waiting nine 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 $550.
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 $550 goes:
• Training provider fees: $250
• Housing deposit and first month: $140
• Transport to appointments: $65
• Essential household items: $95
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Pasig so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Columbus
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Tejaswini?
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Gujranwala donated after I showed her your page
Thinking of you, Tejaswini. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope it all works out, Tejaswini. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Springfield.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
