I served four years in the army and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. 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 $5,750.
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 $5,750 goes:
• Training provider fees: $3,050
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,050
• Transport to appointments: $175
• Essential household items: $475
Thank you so much.

This could happen to any of us. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Vigo
You're not alone, Trang. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Negombo!
Stay strong, Trang. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 8 people at work. Thinking of Peoria.
