I served fourteen years in the army and was discharged in 2024 with a service-related knee injury. I have been waiting fourteen 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 $4,250.
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 $4,250 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,800
• Housing deposit and first month: $1,200
• Transport to appointments: $250
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

50% there. I met with the provider and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
Update from Bowling Green: I made the first payment toward housing deposit and first month. We're at 14% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

hope it all works out, Bennett. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Richards Bay but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Dortmund but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Bennett. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Auckland
