I served fourteen years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place. I have a plan: a first month of rent and transport to job interviews. The quote I have comes to $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. Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly. Where the $750 goes: • Housing deposit and first month: $290 • Essential household items: $75 • Training provider fees: $385 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Aarav.

    • Aarav D. TripathiOwnerAnswerID verifiedPhoto verified

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. housing deposit and first month comes first ($290) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
