Lily served fourteen years in the navy and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee injury. She has been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place. The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $3,750. Lily is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $3,750 goes: โ€ข Training provider fees: $1,750 โ€ข Housing deposit and first month: $1,000 โ€ข Transport to appointments: $340 โ€ข Essential household items: $660 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Terry

  1. Thank you all. We're at 2% now ($79). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward transport to appointments.
